	Harry Harlow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harry Harlow (1905–1981) was an American psychologist best known for his studies on affection and development using rhesus monkeys and surrogate wire or terrycloth mothers.
		Harlow's interpretation - which is still prevalent today - was that the preference for the terrycloth mother demonstrated the importance of affection and emotional nurturance in mother-child relationships.
		Harlow's lab was known as "Goon Park" because of its location at 600 N. Park St. (a hastily written "6" often resembled a "G"), hence the title of the biography by Deborah Blum: Love At Goon Park: Harry Harlow and the Science of Affection.

	Harlow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harlow is a local government district and new town in Essex, United Kingdom.
		It was developed around the market town of Harlow, and the villages of Great Parndon, Latton, Little Parndon and Netteswell from a masterplan drawn up in 1947 by Sir Frederick Gibberd [1].
		Harlow has a population of 80,000, although this may increase significantly if plans to expand into the green belt go ahead.

	Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence: Harlow, Harry F. (1905-1981)
		Harlow was born in 1905 in Fairfield, Iowa.
		Harlow devised a series of ingenious studies in which infant rhesus monkeys were raised in cages without their natural mothers, but with two surrogate objects instead.
		Harlow's conclusions about maternal bonding and deprivation, based on his work with monkeys and first presented in the early 1960s, later became controversial, but are still considered important developments in the area of child psychology.

	Adoption History: Harry Harlow, Monkey Love Experiments
		The famous experiments that psychologist Harry Harlow conducted in the 1950s on maternal deprivation in rhesus monkeys were landmarks not only in primatology, but in the evolving science of attachment and loss.
		Harlow’s first observation was that monkeys who had a choice of mothers spent far more time clinging to the terry cloth surrogates, even when their physical nourishment came from bottles mounted on the bare wire mothers.
		Yet Harlow’s data confirmed the well known psychoanalytic emphasis on the mother-child relationship at the dawn of life, and his research reflected the repudiation of eugenics and the triumph of therapeutic approaches already well underway throughout the human sciences and clinical professions by midcentury.

		In Harlow's initial experiments, infant monkeys were separated from their mothers at six to twelve hours after birth and were raised instead with substitute or "surrogate" mothers made either of heavy wire mesh or of wood covered with cloth.
		Harlow presented the monkey with two stimuli (a red block and a thimble, for example); one was predetermined "correct" and reinforced with food (red block) and the other was "incorrect" and not reinforced with food (thimble).
		Harlow found the monkeys to be averaging approximately 75% correct responses by the sixth trial of the eighth set.

		Harry Harlow in his primate lab at the University of Wisconsin, with Rhesus monkeys, in a 1964 photo.
		Harlow would begin his experiments by separating the infant monkeys from their mothers and peers, and he noticed that the infants, when separated, became extremely attached to the terry cloth towels covering the cage floors.
		Harlow was establishing that love grows from touch, not taste, which is why, when the mother's milk dries up, the child continues to love her.

		Harry Harlow was born Harry Frederick Israel on Halloween night, 1905, in Fairfield, Iowa.
		Harlow's appointment at the University of Wisconsin came in the first year of the Great Depression, a time when funding was understandably hard to come by.
		Harlow's observations of the behavior of infant monkeys led to his interest in affectional systems, and eventually inspired his most famous study on "the Nature of Love" (Harlow, 1958).

		Harry Harlow (1905-1981) was an experimental psychologist that did extensive research with monkeys.
		Another of Harlow’s contributions can be found in “From Thought to Therapy: Lessons from a Primate Laboratory”, an overview of the research done over a span of 40 years at the University of Wisconsin.
		Harlow found that if isolate monkeys were paired with “therapist” peers (young monkeys that had been correctly socialized but could not be interpreted as a threat because of their small size), they could eventually recuperate.

	Love at Goon Park: Harry Harlow and the Science of Affection
		Harlow and his graduate students literally built the first lab from the ground floor up, pulling pipes and concrete pillars from an old box factory.
		Through his work with the rhesus monkeys, Harlow raised questions about the role of emotions in primates, demonstrating how monkeys developed attachments to their cloth "mothers" regardless of whether she or a wire surrogate was providing nourishment.
		Harlow's research, coupled with the work of other researchers such as John Bowlby and Mary Salter Ainsworth, helped changed the way psychologists view attachment and elevated the relationship between mother and child to one which was considered critical for healthy development.

	ARPA: The Science of Love
		Harlow came to realise that while a swinging surrogate produced brave and highly curious little monkeys, static surrogates had not enabled the baby monkeys to accommodate to changes and to surprise (and, I would add, contingent responsiveness).
		Harlow had demonstrated that the maternal instinct is either a misnomer or needs a bit of experience to permit its developmental unfolding.
		Harlow’s experimental research had social consequences; it pushed the field forward to permit the rocking, stroking, and cuddling of premature infants, which in the ‘insular world of psychology’, Blum notes, required backing up ‘animal research and the neatly designed experiments, the graphs and the charts’ (p.

	"Love at Goon Park" by Deborah Blum - Salon
		The psychologist Harry Harlow was a workaholic, a drunk, a bad father, a neglectful husband and, arguably, an unethical scientist.
		For Harlow, love was a common-sense affair; humans must have it to prosper and to be happy, and he intended to prove this.
		Harlow wanted to determine just how desperate the monkey babies could become in their craving for affection.

		In fact, Harlow was a hard-drinking, possibly alcoholic, workaholic who ignored his two sons so completely that it led his first wife to divorce him.
		Harlow and his students threw together a primate lab in a deserted box factory nicknamed Goon Park (because the address 600 N. Park looked like GOON Park to some imaginative students) and began to study monkeys.
		Harry Harlow died in 1981 at age 76.

		Harlow, however, was a rat man, a former Stanford behaviorist who took a stand as early as the 1920s against behaviorists who dismissed love.
		Blum's linkage between Harlow's research and his chronic depression, so severe that he was institutionalized toward the end of his career, is better than her exploration of his childhood and relationships.
		Harlow was explicit about wanting to uncover the processes that cause depression, processes he re-created in the lab by exposing infant monkeys to a vertical chamber he dubbed "the pit of despair."

	UW Kills Animals
		Harlow's scientific mission was clear: he and his colleagues would take sixty of these baby monkeys, keep them in pediatric isolationist wards, and study their behaviors as they deal with the loss of their mothers.
		Harlow and his colleagues, evidently intrigued by this behavior, decided to find out why the animals preferred cloth to the wire of their cages.
		Harlow's team began fanning out to dozens of universities, replicating and amplifying these maternal deprivation protocols, and similar work continues to this day at the University of Washington.

		Harlow refocused the camera on love and on human relationships and at the same time brought science back to psychology with precise and innovative laboratory experiments.
		Harlow paired infant macaque monkies with two makeshift “mothers” — one made of cloth with a makeshift scary-looking face and the other made of wire.
		Harlow also showed that a father monkey could also play the role of the main parent and that the mother did not need to be the most important caretaker; what was important was that the monkey had one reliable caretaker.

	neo-neocon: Harry Harlow and his monkeys: being cruel to be kind?
		Harlow theorized that touch and comfort were even more crucial--if not in keeping the infant alive, then in keeping it emotionally healthy.
		Harlow's earlier research was somewhat cruel, but it had a clear purpose and results that could be used to the benefit of humans.
		Harlow's early experiments had elements of cruelty, but even before the experiments were performed it was clear that they could have some beneficial results for child-rearing (which have ultimately come to include advances in the treatment of premature and institutionalized infants, and the resurgence of breastfeeding).

		In her well-researched account of Harlow's life and work, ''Love at Goon Park,'' Deborah Blum describes how Harlow removed newborn infants from their mothers and housed them with surrogate mothers, some made of terry cloth and some of wire.
		Harlow's genius, Blum says, was to recognize the importance of using a humanlike animal to document thoroughly the positive effects of love and the devastation wrought by its absence.
		Harlow characterized the trajectory of his research as ''love created, love destroyed, love regained.'' That is an equally apt description of his personal life, which Blum skillfully weaves into this history of his science.

		Harry Harlow's experiments, Blum finds in this deeply sympathetic investigation of his life and work, changed all this, conclusively demonstrating that infant monkeys bond emotionally with a specific "mother" a dummy figure made of cloth even if it is not a source of food.
		Harry Harlow's research cause a plethora of laws to be passed limiting researchers to more ethical, humane treatment of animal subjects.
		One can't help be stunned by the irony that Harlow's work, which ultimently championed the importance of mothers' relationships to their children and the deep intelligence of monkies (and their similarities to human beings), would be vilified by these groups.

		Craving comfort, the babies clung to and stroked their immobile "moms." Harlow was thrilled with the simple, visual message this conveyed about a child's need for affection.
		Even as he was conducting groundbreaking research into love, Harlow was neglecting his wife and two children, forcing the demise of his marriage.
