CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Little Albert experiment was a famous psychology experiment conducted by behaviorist John B. Watson and graduate student Rosalie Rayner . 1 Previously, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov had conducted experiments demonstrating the conditioning process in dogs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Psychologist John Watson conducted the Little Albert experiment. Watson is known for his seminal research on behaviorism, or the idea that behavior occurs primarily in the context of conditioning. He was a professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University, and much of his research revolved around animal behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Little Albert Experiment demonstrated that classical conditioning could be used to create a phobia. A phobia is an irrational fear, that is out of proportion to the danger. In this experiment, a previously unafraid baby was conditioned to become afraid of a rat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Watson conducted several experiments exploring emotional learning in children. One of his most famous experiments was conducted in 1920: The Little Albert experiment, which explored classical conditioning using a 9 month old baby boy.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
