On this day in psychology (31st October, 1905)
Harry Harlow was born. A pioneer in the field of comparative psychology, Harlow is recognized as one the most eminent psychologists of the 20th Century.
Harlow’s groundbreaking research on primate behavior included pioneering studies on perceptual discrimination, learning sets (how animals learn to learn,) intelligence and memory decay. However, he is best known for the wire based cloth covered ‘surrogate mothers’ he developed and used as part of his controversial experiments on love and isolation effects among infant rhesus monkeys; which found that attachment to surrogate mothers was driven by the need for “contact comfort” as much as it was by the need for food.
Harry Harlow was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1951 and elected president of the American Psychological Association in 1958. In 1960 he received the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award for 'curiosity and imagination which opened up new areas of research in animal behavior and enhanced the position of comparative psychology,’ and in 1967 President Lyndon B. Johnson presented Harlow with the National Medal of Science.
