AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The loud sound was the unconditioned stimulus in this experiment. Little Albert was already afraid of the sound. Conditioning did not need to occur for him to have a negative reaction to it. Crying can be counted as both the unconditioned response the and conditioned response.

Detailed explanation-4: -After the continuous association of the white rat and loud noise, Little Albert was classically conditioned to experience fear at the sight of the rat. Albert’s fear generalized to other stimuli that were similar to the rat, including a fur coat, some cotton wool, and a Father Christmas mask.

Detailed explanation-5: -Albert cried at the loud noise; this shows the noise was an Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) and the crying was an Unconditioned Response (UCR). At 11 months, Albert was conditioned. He was shown the white rat three times.
