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.
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.
An experiment can establish causation by manipulating variables and controlling for potential confounding factors, while an observational study can only show correlation. Experiments allow researchers to directly test hypotheses and determine the effects of specific interventions, providing stronger evidence for causal relationships. Additionally, experiments can help establish a cause-and-effect relationship with higher confidence due to their randomized controlled design.
In the Natasha Demkina experiment, the probability of correctly matching 4 out of 7 matches by chance alone is approximately 1 in 50. This level of accuracy is considered statistically significant and suggests that Demkina's claims of having X-ray vision may have some merit. However, further controlled studies would be needed to definitively prove her abilities.
They found out that he had more folds in his brain, and therefore, he had a bigger and more developed brain than the average person. With more brains folds, he had more brain material than the typical person.

An experiment can prove or disprove a hypothesis.
Prove causation
That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.

to prove it worked.
An experiment can prove they are wrong or right ...:)
By experiment.
This was an experiment to prove universal gravitation!
An experiment can show: Cause and effect (Apex).
The first step is to decide on the purpose of the experiment. What is it that you are trying to prove or disprove.
