The conditioned stimulus (CS) in the case of Little Albert was the white rat.
What could John Watson have done to eliminate Little Albert's conditioned fear?
unconditioned response
What type of human behavior can be classically conditioned?
taste aversion is one another is the study with "little Albert" and then there is Pavlov's study with dogs and their salivary habit and I'm sure there are many more but i just don't know any more for sure...
What was John B. Watson successful in conditioning in little Albert?
John B. Watson successfully conditioned Little Albert to fear white rats by pairing the presence of the rat with loud, frightening sounds. Initially, Little Albert showed no fear of the rat, but after repeated pairings, he developed a strong fear response to the rat, demonstrating that emotional responses can be conditioned. This experiment is a significant example of classical conditioning and illustrated the potential for learned behaviors in humans.
How did the little Albert experiment connect to conditional learning?
Initially, little Albert wanted to touch and play with the rat. However, each time he tried he heard a loud clanging sound. This lead to Albert not wanting to play with the rat, and eventually to be frightened of it. This is connected to conditional learning, as Albert was conditioned to fear the rat through punishment.
What animal does Little Albert fear and why?
The rat. In order to prove his theory of classical conditioning Pavlov made Little Albert afraid of a white furry cloth which transferred to a rat. Every time Albert saw the white furry cloth it was paired to an event that would scare him. Eventually after many times of this all he had to do is see something that looked like the orginal item and he would be scared. So, this fear was transferred to a white rat.
Watson and Rayner's study of Little Albert demonstrated how specific fears?
Watson and Rayner's study of Little Albert demonstrated how specific fears can be acquired through classical conditioning. The study conditioned a fear response to a white rat in Little Albert by pairing it with a loud noise, showing that fear can be learned through association.
Who was little Albert?
Little Albert was a nine month old baby who J.B Watson and his assistant Rosalie Rayner conditioned into having a phobia of a white rat using classical conditioning. Every time the rat was produced to Albert, either Watson or Rayner stood behind him and struck a steel bar with a hammer. Because Albert disliked the noise, they kept banging and producing the rat until eventually Albert developed a phobia. Hope this explanation helps.
What did john Watson want to prove with the little Albert experiment?
John Watson wanted to demonstrate the principles of classical conditioning by showing that fear could be conditioned in a child (Little Albert) through association with a loud noise (unconditioned stimulus). The experiment aimed to prove that emotions and behavior could be manipulated through conditioning.
What happened to Albert of Little House on the Prairie?
i recall that a TV movie had aired sometime after the series was cancelled, & in this tv movie Albert contracts leukemia & dies.
What were the results to the little albert experiment?
The little Albert experiment proved that psychological fears could be influence by classical conditioning. Little Albert, an infant, was first shown a white rat. At first, he was not afraid of the white rat. However, John Watson, leader of the experiment, presented the white rat repeatedly with a frightening high pitched noise (unconditioned stimulus) which scared little Albert (the unconditioned response). After five times, the infant became frightened whenever the white rat was presented (conditioned response). The white rat was what he associated with the fear of the loud noise and was now the conditioned stimulus.
What happened to Little Albert in Watsons behavioral experiment?
Born 9MAR1919. After the experiment, he was sent home back to his mother. Around this time he was 8 months and 26 days old. On 10MAY1925 he later died of hydrocephalus (water in the brain). It is now believed that Little Albert was disabled at birth and Dr. Watson knew so. His experiment has been declared null and void due to these new findings.
