Early socialisation vids

Still on Early Socialisation, here are a couple of youtube video clips related to the topic:

Harlow's monkeys:

Great illustration of how the monkey goes to the wire surrogate to feed, but is comforted by the cloth one.

Separation anxiety:

Similar to the 'strange situation', this shows an approx 1 year old child upset with a stranger, but easily comforted by an attachment figure (his dad, we assume). I agree with scantysanwiches, it seems to be a secure attachment!
