Omg! I had a textbook in the sixties with that little monkey and wire etc. on the front cover. I remember that experiment well. I am likely wrong, been a long time, but I sort of remember the GE labs? Cannot remember the psychologists who did it. Made me think about how some mothers fail to nurture their young. Grrrr! Kids need that and the money studies show how important. They would just die from lack of attention of inempt mothers. My mother was kinda like the wire cage version.



I recall the rat population studies. That is one that stuck with me. Crowd them up in a cage and they get miserable and mean. I think it is no different for humans. Worked all my life to move to the country and the house burned down and now back inthe damned crowded city in an apt. Life is a trip. Coping is a bigger challenge some times more than others.
