Best Answer

Watson was a Psychologist and a key figure in the development of behaviourist Psychology. He put little Albert in a room with a white rat. He then waited for Albert to approach or touch the rat. At this point, he clanged a loud metal bar. This eventually lead to Albert being scared of the rat, a fear which spilled out onto other fluffy white things like cotton wool or santa's beard.
