    Love Experiment
    Harlow Monkey Experiment



    In the total isolation experiments, baby monkeys would be left alone for three, six, 12, or 24[20][21] months of "total social deprivation". The experiments produced monkeys that were severely psychologically disturbed. Harlow wrote:

    No monkey has died during isolation. When initially removed from total social isolation, however, they usually go into a state of emotional shock, characterized by ... autistic self-clutching and rocking. One of six monkeys isolated for 3 months refused to eat after release and died 5 days later. The autopsy report attributed death to emotional anorexia.

    ... The effects of 6 months of total social isolation were so devastating and debilitating that we had assumed initially that 12 months of isolation would not produce any additional decrement. This assumption proved to be false; 12 months of isolation almost obliterated the animals socially
