John B. Watson
Watson and Rayner's study of Little Albert demonstrated some specific fears in life. These fears are produced through classical 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.
Little Hans was a case study by Freud. It involved a child who was afraid of horses. You are probably confusing it with Little Albert, a study by Watson and Rayner. In this study, a loud bar was clanged when Albert approached a white rat. This is not classical conditioning, but operant conditioning, as the child is learning by trial and error.
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.
There is no definitive response that can be given because there were two variables in the experiment that could lead to different conclusions.
