20、n cognitive (认知的 ) tests than babies who only grew up with peers (同伴), but this is not breaking news. In fact, it s old news.

21、ncluded a wire monkey mother with a plastic face. Then he equipped the mother with a milk bottle .The cage also had another wire mother who was covered with soft cloth. The baby monkeys spent all their time with the cloth mother arid only went to the wire mother to feed.Harlows monkey experiment was
22、 important because, at the time, child care experts, and everybodys grandmother had a no touch, no comfort policy toward children. They advised parents not to respond to crying babies.
