Harry Harlow
Harry Harlow famously experimented on Rhesus Macaque monkeys in isolation, and monkeys with surrogate objects in place of mothers. These studies were motivated by John Bowlby's World Health Organization-sponsored study and report, "Maternal Care and Mental Health" in 1950, in which Bowlby reviewed previous studies on the effects of institutionalization on child development. Though not necessarily directly applicable to humans, his work strengthened the body of evidence concerning maternal deprivation and lasting psychological damage.

Famous quotes containing the word harry:
“I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off—you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”
