Solution

Harry Harlow's study on infant monkeys demonstrated the importance of a mother providing warmth. His experiments with rhesus monkeys, where he separated infants from their mothers and provided them with surrogate mothers made of wire and cloth, showed that the infant monkeys were more attached to the cloth mothers because they provided comfort and warmth, even if the wire mothers were the ones providing food. This showed that attachment goes beyond just the provision of basic needs like food, and includes elements of comfort, security, and warmth.
