Case Study: The Little Albert Experiment

The Little Albert experiment showed that emotional reactions such as fear can be taught through classical conditioning.

The Experiment:

•Eleven-month-old Albert was conditioned to fear a white rat rather than be amused by it.

• Psychologists achieved this by pairing the rat with something that Albert would find instinctively frightening.

The Results:

• After they paired the rat with loud noises, Albert showed a fear of the rat even when there was no noise.

• Albert’s fear spread to similar objects.

• By today’s standards, the experiment was unethical.
