Chapter 324: Cry-Immune Parenting Method? Rhesus Monkey Surrogate Mother Experiment!
Canopy.

[A three-month-old baby cried himself to death while sleeping alone.]

[Although she cried hard, she got no response.]

[He struggled in despair and coldness for more than two hours, and finally suffocated to death.]

[His mother, however, watched this scene through the surveillance camera and remained indifferent.]

Did his mother abandon the child?

[Actually, no, it turns out that she is using the so-called cry immunity method to train the baby to fall asleep independently.]

[As a result, the ability to fall asleep independently was not developed.]

[Instead, the baby suffocated and died after crying for several hours.]

The ancients were puzzled.

It turns out that the baby was not left unattended.

Instead, his mother.

Always watching from the side.

I actually watched my child cry for several hours and then die!

What kind of confusing behavior is this?
Then what is the cry-immunity method?

The ancients were not the only ones to be puzzled.

The modern audiences of later generations on the sky screen also sent out barrages of comments.

The screen is full of question marks.

《？ ？ ？ ？ ？》

"When I slowly type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem."

"Baby: Guess why I'm crying?"

Falling asleep independently?

"Just tell me whether you slept or not?"

"Children's trachea is very short, and long periods of crying and mucus can easily block the trachea, causing suffocation."

"Isn't this what Watson proposed? Class A war criminals!"

Amid the collective bewilderment of modern and ancient audiences, the story continues.

【The cry immunity method is a theory of infant training. 】

[This theory was proposed by American behavioral psychologist John Watson.]

【In the 20s, John Watson was a very influential social figure. 】

[John Watson said very confidently:]

[And his parenting theory and method became popular. ]

“Give me a batch of babies, I will bring them into my unique world, and I can guarantee that even if I pick a random one from them, I can train them to be anything I want.”

[“Doctors, lawyers, criminals, businessmen, artists, firefighters, beggars, soldiers, any profession, I can train any of them.”]

[Among John Watson’s parenting philosophies, the most famous one is the cry-out method. ]

[The so-called crying immunity method, in simple terms, is:]

[Don’t hug me if I cry, hug me if I don’t cry. 】

[In theory, this can prevent babies from developing a habit of dependence on their parents.]

【Cultivate their independence from an early age. 】

【At the same time, Watson also pointed out that even if babies cling to their mothers every day and ask for hugs, they will not be fooled.】

[But in fact, they are not craving for love, but craving for food. ]

【As long as the baby gets enough food.】

【Then a hug from your mother is actually dispensable. 】

[John Watson also warned that mothers should not be overly close to their children, as this would hinder the growth of their children and make them become mama's boys or girls, becoming giant babies who are very dependent on their mothers.]

[It is difficult to live independently, let alone become a high-end talent in society. ]

[These theories, which sound a bit outrageous to us today, were very popular in the context of the 20s! ]

【Once proposed, it attracted great attention from the society. 】

[It can be said that this theory became popular throughout the United States in the first place.]

[Countless mothers follow this theory. ]

Outside the sky.

The ancients saw the cry-immunity method proposed by American psychologists in later generations.

I just feel a little baffled.

Confucius: "If John Watson's theory is so effective, then he should have experimented on his own children!"

Xunzi: "How is it possible that humans are not beasts? They only need food to grow?"

"Kill all these so-called experts who hold these heretical theories in later generations!"

Liu Yu: "As Tianmu said before, the reason why the unworthy descendant of our Song Dynasty, the tyrant Liu Ziye, became such a star is largely because he lacked maternal love since childhood."

"Although I am a warrior."

"But I also know that if we raise a prince with food alone, there will definitely be problems."

"Liu Ziye is the best proof."

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang read the theories of these so-called experts of later generations.

Also shook his head.

“I’m probably not an expert.”

"But when I think back to my childhood, I remember the friends I grew up with."

"That's for sure." "A child with a mother is a treasure."

"It is best for a child to grow up without lacking the love and care from his family."

"This obvious truth was not only overturned by the American expert of later generations, but also became popular with his theory?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very confused.

“I don’t know what the people in later generations think.”

But in the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the baby crying immunity method on the sky and fell into deep thought.

"The current Daqin doesn't need it."

"But if it was a few hundred years ago, when the Qin Dynasty was struggling to start its business."

"Gather all the babies together, raise them uniformly by the state, and train them to be the most tenacious fighters."

"This seems to be... there is a certain explanation."

“I just don’t know if it will work.”

"Of course, now the Qin Dynasty has unified the world."

"There will no longer be a need for this kind of social experiment where the state uniformly raises babies and trains them to become warriors."

The sky continues.

【John Watson's theory was all the rage.】

【It also spread across the oceans and spread all over the world. 】

【But some people have raised doubts.】

[For example, psychologist Harry Harlow thought that John Watson's cry-immunity method was a complete mistake.]

[The so-called need of infants for maternal love is actually a need for food. ]

【Harlow also totally disagrees. 】

【So Harlow decided to do an experiment. 】

[The results of this experiment also shocked the world. ]

[And it is known as one of the cruelest experiments in the world. ]

[This experiment is the rhesus monkey experiment. ]

【The rhesus macaque is a small monkey.】

【The genetic similarity with humans reaches 94%. 】

[Harlow found many monkeys for the experiment, a total of 5000 monkeys were used.]

[The earliest initial experiments were to put the monkeys in cages alone.]

[Stay away from the mother monkey, but have enough food, water, etc.]

[According to Watson's theory, these monkeys who grew up alone should be better and more independent.]

【The result is. 】

[Compared to normal monkeys, these monkeys who have lived independently since childhood are timid, emotionally unstable, have dull eyes, and cannot get along well with other monkeys.]

【Harlow decided to go a step further.】

[Thus the famous surrogacy experiment began. ]

【Harlow first placed the newborn baby monkey in a wire mesh cage.】

【Two fake monkeys were placed in the cage.】

【As a substitute for the monkey mother. 】

[One of the fake monkey mothers was made of wire, hard and cold.]

【But on its chest, there was a milk bottle hanging. 】

【And milk is provided 24 hours a day. 】

[It can be said that this is equivalent to unlimited food, which can fully meet the needs of the little monkey. ]

[The other monkey mother is made of soft velvet.]

【It feels very soft, comfortable and warm. 】

[But this cloth monkey mother doesn’t have a bottle hanging on her chest and can’t provide any food. ]

[According to Watson's theory, babies do not need maternal love, they just need food, which means that whoever has milk is the mother.]

【Then in theory, the little monkey should like the wire mother more. 】

【This can be tested on multiple monkeys. 】

[The result is that all the little monkeys prefer the soft velvet mother.]

[They only go to the wire mother to drink milk when they are hungry. ]

[After drinking, I will return to the flannel mother. ]

[There are even some little monkeys who hang on their flannel mothers even when they are feeding.]

[Just put your head over to the wire mother to drink milk. ]

[Then Harlow placed some scary-looking toys in the cage.]

[It's probably similar to a talking cactus. ]

[The little monkey saw these and shook the scary toys and screamed. ]

[They are all very scared.]

【Then, one by one, they all rushed to the flannel mother, asking for protection and comfort.】

【And the wire mother who can provide food. 】

【No monkeys asked. 】
