Abstract
The ultimate aim of our study in rhesus monkeys is to detect possible effects of the type of mother-infant relationship on the developing infant. We chose to study play with peers as the most important characteristic to be influenced, as play is the most common interaction with group members in early life, and because play is probably an exercise for the development of social skills.
