The white rabbit
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.
John B. Watson conducted the Little Albert experiment in 1920.
Yes, John Watson studied salivation in dogs to examine the concept of habituation. In his famous experiment, Watson conditioned a fear response in a young boy known as "Little Albert" using a similar method to Pavlov's classical conditioning with dogs, to study the formation and extinction of phobias.
John B. Watson, an American psychologist, was responsible for the Little Albert experiment. It involved classical conditioning with a young boy named Albert to demonstrate how fear can be acquired through conditioning.
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.
There is no definitive response that can be given because there were two variables in the experiment that could lead to different conclusions.
