Detailed explanation-1: -Watson was able to carry out the process of classical conditioning on Little Albert, since he was able to take a neutral stimulus (white rat) and pair it with the unconditioned stimulus (loud noise) to create the conditioned stimulus (white rat) and conditioned response (fear).
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: -In Watson and Rayner’s experiment with Little Albert, they paired a loud noise with a white rat. Although Albert had not initially been afraid of the rat, after only seven pairings of the loud noise with the white rat, Albert began to fear the rat, even when the loud noise was no longer sounded.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement about John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner’s Little Albert study is FALSE? The results are still relevant because Watson and Rayner showed how fear responses could be produced through classical conditioning.
