Those experiments were done by Harry Harlow, with a wire frame "mother" 
with a nipple, and a cloth "mother" with no milk supply. The infant 
monkeys went to the wire frame for milk, but hung onto the cloth mother 
the rest of the time. Harlow wanted to study the importance of touch in 
infancy in primates...he concluded it was supremely important.
