AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The conditioned response from Little Albert was fear, which he exhibited by crying whenever he saw a white rat. He associated the loud sound, which was naturally frightening, with white rats which he had previously been exposed to, and had no fear of in the beginning.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Little Albert Experiment demonstrated that classical conditioning-the association of a particular stimulus or behavior with an unrelated stimulus or behavior-works in human beings. In this experiment, a previously unafraid baby was conditioned to become afraid of a rat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apparently, the infant associated the white rat with the noise. The rat, originally a neutral stimulus, had become a conditioned stimulus, and was eliciting an emotional response (conditioned response) similar to the distress (unconditioned response) originally given to the noise (unconditioned stimulus).

Detailed explanation-4: -In the Little Albert Experiment, the unconditioned response was the child crying when frightened by a loud noise. This is an unconditioned response because loud noises natural cause fear reactions in children and animals. This means the loud noise was the unconditioned stimulus in the experiment.
