The behaviorists had predicted that the monkey would go to the wire mother when frightened because the wire mother provides biological needs such as food. However the monkeys went to the cloth mother instead because they were frightened and wanted protection and comfort which they could not receive from the wired mother. This is contradicting the expectations of the behaviorist because there was no positive outcome for example the biological needs ( food), the monkeys leaned for attachment and comfort.
