In Harlow’s monkey experiment infant monkeys were raised in a cage with two substitute moms, one made of wire and the other of cloth, showed that contact and comfort were in fact important. In the experiment, the monkeys spent more time clutching to the clothed mom, even though the wire mother had the bottle for feeding.
if you look closely in the picture you can see the wire "mother" next to the cloth one.
