Abstract
Monkeys were removed from their mothers at birth; they received milk either by sucking from a bottle or drinking from a cup. Observations of nonnutritive sucking and other oral activities from birth to 6 months led to the conclusions: (a) bottle-fed Ss produced more nonnutritive sucking than cup-fed Ss but less other oral activity; (b) males showed more nonnutritive sucking than females, but less other oral activity; (c) Ss raised with rocking mother surrogates showed more nonnutritive sucking than Ss with stationary surrogates or no surrogates.
