As you have seen Watson was able to classically condition the emotion of fear in only a few trials with little Albert Unfortunately little Albert s mother who was a nurse at Johns Hopkins got wind of Watson s experiment on her son and no longer allowed him to play in Dr Watson s laboratory For all we know there is an older gentleman named Albert from the Baltimore area who is deathly afraid of white rats to this day At any rate Watson s controversial experiment showed that fears or phobias may be acquired through classical conditioning Do you have similar examples of how fears that either you or someone you know has developed Share any examples of conditioned fears you have
