The Intellectual Consequences of Early Social Restriction in Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca Mulatta)

摘要: For over a decade the nonhuman primate research concerned with effects of early social isolation on behavioral functioning contained seemingly puzzling discrepancy. On one hand, rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) reared in environments that either severely restricted or completely occluded contact conspecifics were found to show easily discriminable deficits personal, social, sexual, and maternal behaviors (see Chapter 20). other Harlow coworkers have long denied existence similar intellectual (e.g., Rowland, 1964; Harlow, Schiltz, 1969; Gluck 1971).
