You are right it is like those studies. They made so many baby monkeys suffer maternal deprivation so that they could say a monkey deprived of its mother felt deprived of its mother. It didn't take a study to prove that. They are still doing studies like that on baby monkeys.
I think you are right about the cognitive dissonance. These people are not normal. They can inflict pain, emotional suffering, fear, anything like that and they feel nothing for their test subjects. They lack basic empathy. Not everyone is deeply empathic, but they feel nothing.
People like that won't stop their acts of cruelty so we have to make them stop.
