Abstract

With temperature and humidity controlled, responses of an infant crab-eating macaque to mother surrogates changed significantly with changes in illumination. In addition, during 77 days of observations, contact with a soft, nonfeeding surrogate was significantly greater than was contact with a stiff, feeding surrogate. The preference for the soft surrogate is consistent with results reported by Harlow for rhesus infants.
