The aim of Watson and Rayner was to condition a phobia in an emotionally stable child. [3] For this study, they chose a nine-month-old infant from a hospital. The child was referred to as "Albert" for the experiment. [4] Watson followed the procedures which Ivan Pavlov had used in his experiments with dogs. [5]
In 1920 John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner demonstrated such fear conditioning in the Little Albert experiment.They started with a 9-month boy called "Albert", who was unemotional but was made to cry by the loud noise (unconditioned stimulus) of a hammer striking a steel bar.
Rosalie Alberta Rayner (September 25, 1898 – June 18, 1935) was an undergraduate psychology student, then research assistant (and later wife) of Johns Hopkins University psychology professor John B. Watson, with whom she carried out the study of a baby later known as "Little Albert." In the 1920s, she published essays and co-authored articles ...
Watson and Rayner conditioned "Little Albert" by clanging an iron rod when a white rat was presented. First, they presented to the boy a white rat and observed that he was not afraid of it. Second, they presented him with a white rat and then clanged an iron rod. "Little Albert" responded by crying. This second presentation was repeated several ...
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Psychological and psychiatric evaluation and testing | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Psychological and psychiatric evaluation and testing | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e ...
The methods used to analyze behavior in child development are based on several types of measurements. Single-subject research with a longitudinal study follow-up is a commonly-used approach. Current research is focused on integrating single-subject designs through meta-analysis to determine the effect sizes of behavioral factors in development ...
Counterconditioning is very similar to extinction seen in classical conditioning.It is the process of getting rid of an unwanted response. But in counterconditioning, the unwanted response does not just disappear, it is replaced by a new, wanted response.
Psychological behaviorism—while bolstering Watson's rejection of inferring the existence of internal entities such as mind, personality, maturation stages, and free will—considers important knowledge produced by non-behavioral psychology that can be objectified by analysis in learning-behavioral terms.
