In Harry Harlow's classic attachment study, the monkeys showed a strong preference for artificial mothers that were warm and soft, even if they did not provide milk. This demonstrated that attachment is not solely based on meeting physiological needs such as hunger but also on the need for comfort and security. The monkeys even avoided the wire mothers that provided milk but were not warm and soft, indicating that the need for comfort and security was greater than the need for nourishment.
