Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freud suggested that feeding was the critical factor in the attachment process, believing that infants become attached to their mothers because they associate them with the gratification of their instinctual drive to feed. The Harlows' experiments with monkeys demonstrated that comfort and security provided by a soft, cuddly surrogate mother were more important for attachment than feeding, challenging Freud's theory.
