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.
