In chapter six of Opening Skinner's Box, "Monkey Love" Lauren Slater begins by introducing us to psychologist Harry Harlow. Harlow was known as a difficult, disrespectful man, but was also known to be very devoted and was mainly known for experimenting with monkeys and the way they expressed their feelings regarding attachment (Slater 132). Slater explains in great detail Harlow's approach towards the monkeys, he had no feelings for them and could care less what pain they endured during the…

Aspects of empathy, such as emotional contagion, have also been demonstrated in pri- mates. In a classical study monkeys can acquire fear of snakes after watching other monkeys’ fearful interactions with snakes, without any personal experience [10]. Also, an experiment in which peripheral skin temperature was measured in chimpanzees while they viewed an emotionally laden video demonstrated a decrease of skin temperature, indicative of sympathetic arousal, when they viewed videos of conspecifics…

Documented research regarding health and several factors of genetic inheritance, personal behaviors, access to quality health care, and the general external environment associates an increasing link between the stresses of social and cultural factors and health. Variables such as socioeconomic status (SES) demonstrates that the evidence is linked to health accrued over the past thirty years or more. Social factors theorized that multiple levels during life impact health. Westernized…

conversions which lead him to the realization that his late grandfather did not actually pass away so much as he transformed (Bellatin 42). Bellatin then explained how his grandfather had appeared to him as if in a vision, telling him a story about Macaque, “…a woman of Slavic origins […] fleeing a horrific marriage” who ended up meeting a martial arts fighter and falling in love (Bellatin 50). Response Bellatin has started questioning his grandfather’s death, referring to his uncertainty,…

On the Marquardt Beauty Analysis website, even though there are differences with people that are in the same category, there are familiarities of people group in the same category because as Marquardt, S. (2001) stated, sometimes it helps to understand the people better with respect to their general tendencies of the group. Therefore, the Asian ethnic group was selected for this lab because the image of the subject belongs to that ethnic group. The face-mask criterion confirm with the face that…

Evan Thompson, professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia, presented the idea of that the self is process, not a thing nor an entity, which implied that self is an experiential process that is subject to the constant change in Waking, Dreaming, Being (Thompson XXXI). And additionally, Thompson gives the idea of the self, however, he also mentioned the three things men or human need to understand. The three things are the nature of consciousness, the contents of consciousness…

Raiza Ruiz-Kline Sarah Klein MCWP 40 8 October 2015 Writing Prompt 1: “Revenge of the Nerds” In “Revenge of the Nerds” Steven Pinker asserts that four dominant traits contributed to the way of life that allowed the ancestors of the modern Homo sapiens to develop powers of reasoning and enter what he refers to as “the cognitive niche” (Pinker 191). By establishing the function of these four traits and linking them all to the resulting lifestyle changes as these traits evolved (and the subsequent…

different things, but she’s noticeable stays silent. Well, even if they have the vocal capabilities, their brains can’t. So researchers began to wonder what if a human brain was in control instead. The experiment was successful. Researchers developed a macaque model with the exact same vocal structure and replaced the monkey’s brain with a human. The results were the monkey model saying “Will you marry me?” and then saying “Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas in French).” There are actually videos of…

HSV-1 and HSV-2 replication is reduced in rhesus macaque fibroblasts: The aim behind this experiment was to check whether rhesus monkey cells are more effective against the HSV-1 and HSV-2 replication than Human TRIM5. Rhesus Macaque fibroblast cell lines and HeLa cell lines were infected with HSV-1 KOS and HSV-2 186 syn+ strains at MOI=3 PFU/cell and harvested at different time points post infection. The viral load at these time points are shown the Figure 1. From the figure we understand…

Harry Harlow was a psychologist who ran test on Rhesus macaque monkeys. He originally ran test on the monkeys to see how the would maternally bond. He would arrange the monkeys with cones covered with towels. He would then have the “mother” shoot cold air or spikes at the infant monkey. This was to stimulate an abusive mother. The point of his original experiment was to see if a child relied on their mother for food or affection. Then in 1971 his wife died. This lead him to fall into a deep…
