PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

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: -The next time Albert was exposed to the rat, Watson made a loud noise by hitting a metal pipe with a hammer. Naturally, the child began to cry after hearing the loud noise. After repeatedly pairing the white rat with the loud noise, Albert began to expect a frightening noise whenever he saw the white rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
