The rhesus monkey experiment "nature of love" (1958), undertaken by Harry F. Harlow bolstered our understanding of the emotional bond between a baby and its mother. Harlow was able to distinguish between emotional attachment and the biological desire for food. Harlow had left behind an extraordinary legacy relating to the ethical implications which lead to deprived love at a young age, Hock (2013) depicts the inhumane treatment towards the infants needs and how the research that Harlow had produced could not be done on humans as it would harm their psychological and physical state, as it had already done to the infant monkeys. The experimental research deprived the infants of their original mother by replacing them with a cloth, although he only did these with the infant monkeys due to the ethical principles. Harlow had found that the infant monkeys as young as a day old, became very attached to the cloth pads used in the experiment, most for comfort and security.
The findings were also conclusive as the method followed by Mcgarrigle was extremely similar to Piaget’s with only a slight adaptation, showing that younger children can also conserve. However because the study relies on younger children having animism, the teddy is used. But if comparative studies were undertaken then older children would needed to be asked differently and so results for conservation could be affected. The use ‘Naughty Teddy' may be distracting the child away from concentrating to the change of counters and therefore the answer given is not a true account of what the child
Since its invention over fifty years ago, television has been criticized by many as being bad for children’s brains. As television has advanced throughout the years, so have the fast paced, mindless shows designed for young children. In the article “Is SpongeBob SquarePants Bad for Children?” Roni Rabin discusses a research study that sought to prove that watching SpongeBob SquarePants has a negative effect on a child’s executive functioning system. The results of this small experimental study found that children who watched nine minutes of a fast paced cartoon had decreased their executive functioning compared to children who participated in nine minutes of drawing or watching educational programs. Connecting fast paced television viewing to losses in cognitive ability has profound significance for children’s social and learning development.
Julian best demonstrated this behavior when he noticed a little girl crying after she was dropped off at the center. Julian voluntarily brought her a stuffed panda to make her feel better. to Martin & Fabes (2009), onlooker play is play in which one child watches another child or children but does not directly participate.

Perceptual abilities in human babies Giulia Lanza di Scalea In 1980, William James published “The principles of psychology”, where he claimed that very young infants are not able to perceive what happens around them. He believed their impression of the world to be just a “great blooming, buzzing confusion”(James,1980), given by the fact that they are experiencing eye, ear, nose, skin and entrails stimuli all at once. In the same years, Charles Darwin was writing the “Baby's diary”, based on his child's observation, which was though published just in 1877. Darwin observed his young son during the first period of his life, and, just as James, he believed there was not a lot going on in his mind during his first month. He thought the only perceptive experience he had was about the difference between brightness and darkness, which occurred very early in life, since the babies' eyes got stuck on a candle already during the 9th day.

I also don’t agree with him saying cochlear implants wont work well for young children and there better off for “healthy adults.” I believe that is would probably be easier for children to learn how to use this cochlear implant as a tool because at those young ages they soak up all information they can receive, rather then adults who are sometimes stuck in their ways. I don’t know this for a fact but this is what I believe can also be a circumstance. I do agree with him saying there are a lot of risks for children but those risks can also be just as big as a risk for adults. Like in Kathryn’s article she says you need to look at the big picture and what great potential the cochlear implant can have for children or adults. I also don’t agree with what they both say about the deaf
