Her study of unconditioning a fear of rabbits, which she conducted at the Institute of Educational Research, Columbia University Teachers' College on a three-year-old named Peter, is her most often cited work. Jones treated Peter's fear of a white rabbit by "direct conditioning," in which a pleasant stimulus (food) was associated with the rabbit. As the rabbit was gradually brought closer to him in the presence of his favorite food, Peter grew more tolerant, and was able to touch it without fear.
