A textbook chapter on the development of attachment outlines two seminal animal studies:

  • Study X demonstrated that newly-hatched birds form a rapid bond with, and follow, the first moving object they encounter during a restricted developmental window.
  • Study Y investigated whether infant monkeys developed a bond based on food provision or contact comfort by offering them two different surrogate mothers.

Name the researcher who conducted Study X and state the specific species of bird used in their primary investigation.
