6. Participant... Little albert was a child of a wet nurse (someone who breastfeeds babies when the mother cannot.) and so lived in a hospital environment. He was, according to Watson and Raynor, stolid and unemotional. Albert had no fearful reactions to a rat, a rabbit, a dog, a monkey, a mask with hair, or cotton wool. A test when Albert was 8 months old showed that he reacted violently when a suspended steel bar was hit by a hammer. He was startled, held his breath, and then began to cry. The response was used to condition Albert to fear rats and other stimuli.
7. Design... A single-subject design. The behaviours measured were Albert’s reactions to various stimuli before and after the conditioning.
