Behaviorist's have seen through experiments that baby monkeys would only go to the wire or the cloth monkey when food was provided. When rewarding an action positively it is more likely to reoccur as oppose to rewarding negatively. Behaviorists believed that if the baby monkey was frightened it would go to the wire monkey because it got food however, it actually went to the cloth monkey. The baby monkey would however go to the cloth monkey for comfort and protection when frightened.
