Book Reading #23 - Opening Skinner's Box

Chapter 6
Summary
The case study of this chapter is on personal attachment observed with monkeys. So essentially the relationship of love with our perception of touch and sight. The monkeys were fed by a metal figure and compared with the normal feeding ritual.

Discussion
This was an interesting take on how love and affection play a large role on animal's lives. Simply an inanimate object can be used to look like a mother to the monkeys and play an important role in affection.
