The behaviourists that were in charge of the experiment were looking to see if the monkey would go to the wire monkey, because it was the one supplying the baby monkey with food. the behaviourists believes that the emotions of attachment and feeling would come from conditioning. when the baby monkey ran fro comfort, it would run to the cloth mother because it felt safest with it and felt a stronger attachment rather than the mother that provided the food.
This experiment had the behaviourists view this as human nature, and their biggest point that they cam across is that feelings have no place in the study of Psychology.
