Describe what happened in the Little Albert Experiment. Identify the psychologist, the technique used, and two stimuli used in the experiment.
John B Watson wanted to condition a one-year-old baby boy named little Albert to fear a white rat. This is an example of classical conditioning. Every time Albert was shown a rat, Watson made a loud noise by hitting a metal bar. The stimuli were the white rat and the loud noise. Eventually, Albert learned to associate the loud noise with the white rat and would cry at the sight of the rat alone.
