Communication Between Rhesus Infants And Their Non Agonistic Mothers

One of the studies was conducted by Harlow in 1959 who wanted to study the mechanisms by which new-born rhesus monkeys bond with their mothers. He tested the learning theory by comparing attachment behaviour in the monkeys given wire surrogate mother producing milk with those given a soft towelling mother producing no milk.

Various primates show ability in their environment, some concepts may exist to other than human species or it may not. The author explains in depth the certain behaviours that come with forms of communication. Throughout this article, understanding the behavioural reasoning to observe predictions from one another. Social environment has been said to be suggested to represent the components. This mainstream article published online has a brief report and explains the facts by categories and only facts not opinions or comments. The specific format which describes the details right away and by the following paragraphs that help me understand it easier because it is not hard to read, the concept is right then and there. I like the fact that this article demonstrates the behavior of primates in formats that are understandable and can represent debate lies. Within assumption the examples given of behavior were simply a chimpanzee trying to go up a tree. A few chimpanzees took different roles tring to help each other up a tree. Experiments are said to look for evidence for primate subjects not just performing an act but also understanding

Harry and Margaret Harlow’s experiment was mostly centered on social development, which the sole stars of the experiment: Rhesus Monkeys. A significant amount of observations were found in the experiment. These directly related themselves to the limited social contact of humans. It was specifically aimed toward the cases of isolated and feral children. In these experiments, or observations, it is demonstrated that human or mother contact is necessary to the development of a child.

When infants and toddlers require to be hospitalized in the PICU and must endure procedures that may question the pain level, physiological status and recovery of such child, the question of how to involve or encourage the promotion of healing must be considered as an important factor of the patient. A study of using a method referred to as touch and talk to test the hypothesis of mental status and recovery to invasive procedures performed in the pediatric intensive care unit has concluded where the results may benefit the pediatric population. Many parents who have children currently or may experience in the future may find the study to be helpful when providing parental emotional

Within this essay, we will study more in depth the behavioral as well as physical traits of two primates at a zoo from their interaction with their peers to their place in the group. This observation would enable us to further understand the possible existing correlation between humans and primates. First, I studied a female chimpanzee with her baby, and then, a dominant male gorilla, in San Francisco Zoo at about noon, on May 23, 2015, for an hour each. Even though they share some similarities such as having a large brain, living for a long time, and being bored in their enclosure, they are still different; when gorillas are the largest, chimpanzees are the smartest. In fact, chimps use tools to catch food, they would not be able to reach

In the end, the Golden – Cheeked Gibbon is a fascinating primate that has a unique style of motion and call. While I did not experience that call that the gibbon uses to either have a mating partner or claim its own territory, it does exist. Their way of moving throughout the enclosure is fascinating to watch as they swing their long arms around. Moving from prop to prop they are easily able to move from one side of the enclosure in under ten seconds. The primates provided key examples on similarities that humans share with these animals, and other primates. The interaction

In this different group of primates is been observed that tarsiers are involved in infanticide to. There are many explanations that have been discussed to explain this behavior. One of them is that some organisms recurred to kill infants for nutritive purposes. Another factor is that some animals will the new born just to eliminate the completion for food u other resources. Scientist also explains that male tarsiers will engage in infanticide to gain reproductive advantages killing babies that are not related to them. Doing this, male tarsiers increase their probability of getting the female pregnant, because, while the female is nursing its new born, they cannot get pregnant, nursing is a natural contraceptive in some animals. Is been observed

When a woman gives birth there is a massive change in her hormones, and these changes evoke maternal behavior [2]. For example, oxytocin also known as the “bonding hormone or the love hormone” is a chemical messenger that is released into the brain in response to social contact, it’s especially noticeable with skin-to skin contact such as breast-feeding [2]. Oxytocin not only provides health benefits, but it also promotes bonding, such as between a breast feeding mother and her infant, and creates a desire for more contact with the individual evoking the release [2]. However, it’s not necessary for maternal behavior

At the time, it was said that love began as a feeding bond with the mother and applied by extension to other family members. Other theories claimed that humans and other social animals lived in organized societies simply to help with sexual contact. Starting in 1957, Harlow worked with rhesus monkeys. The reason behind why he chose this specific type of breed was because the monkeys that they were utilizing were more mature at birth than humans, but like human babies show a range of emotions and needed to be nursed. During the experimentations, he took infant monkeys away from their real mothers and gave them instead two artificial mothers. One of the models were made

Apes show concern for one another very much like humans do. Researchers in the article written by Dixon explain this affectionate trait is prevalent in young Bonobos. Monkey kiss, hug and embrace each other for comfort very much like humans do. Monkeys who scream frequently and are not quieted by these emotional exchanges show less compassion for others. Dixon’s article mentions Bonobos who are under the care of their mother are more self aware, more affectionate, well adjusted and less prone to fits. The article written article for the Telegraph is intended for the average reader and lacks detail. Although the article by Dixon touches on some affectionate behaviors, it leaves out the exchange discussion that evolution or DNA share between humans and the primates. Such a simple article leaves more to be desired.

Primate parenting has distinct features relative from other animals. Some characteristics are fertility, which means that they relatively birth very few offspring at a time, allowing them to give their attention to them completely. Another is birth intervals which are relatively long periods at a time between births. Preadult care is also another characteristic. Their care is elongated and intensive which allows them to fully give their attention to the baby and fully teach them what they need to know.

The relationship between mother and infant is extraordinary. A lot of research has been done to test the social stresses on dyadic synchrony on mothers and infants as well as toddlers and pre-teens. This article extends on previous research on FFSF exposures by observing not only the social interactions of the mother and infant from face-face interactions but also by still face pictures. Also, assessing the infant’s interactive style, the mother’s behavior and dyadic synchrony in observing the responses to the two FFSF exposures 15 minutes apart. This research is relevant to the neuro field, and how the development of an infant’s brain do to social stress.

A 10 year practice of supervision for bonobos shows that they unlike chimpanzee walk on two extremities more often than chimpanzee males. They are less aggressive, than chimpanzee. The social hierarchy in their communities is not so cruel, and relations among sex are devoid of a strong man's dominant. Unlike other monkeys bonobo males stay the longest under their parent guardianship that decreased a lot male’s aggression. When chimpanzee finds food, males will take it no matter if the first who found it was a female which differs chimpanzee from bonobo (Wrangham and Peterson, 1996). Another reason of bonobo’s weak aggressiveness is that every female entering the community has a sexual relationship with the older female; they groom each other

Oxytocin (OT) has been studied extensively over the past 60 years, and in the past 10 years, there has been a dramatic rise in research due to interest in the many functions of oxytocin. Through biological mechanisms involving oxytocin, pair-bonding, as well as mother infant relationships are better understood. The intent of this paper is to establish the correlation between pair-bonding and mother infant relationships and oxytocin. Primate oxytocin research provides groundwork for human research, and provides greater understanding of human social behavior.

Dian helped us connect even more to the foreign primates by focusing on the different habits of mother, baby, and adolescent gorillas. Giving each gorilla a name, Fossey helped us almost humanize the animals through her vivid descriptions of their personality and behavior. She showed us that gorilla mothers protect, care for, and discipline their infants. Gorilla babies develop much the same ways humans do; acquiring skills as they age. Adolescents can be just as curious as they are mischievous. Fossey's work helps replace the image of the gorilla as a ferocious animal into one that is kind, gentle, and more human-like that we had never known.
