2What is the method for Watson and Rayner's study on classical conditioningAlbert was 11 months old. He seemed to like a white laboratory rate, and had no fear of white furry objects. In the conditioning trials, the rat was shown to Albert, and he tried to reach for it, a metal bar was hit very hard with a hammer. This was repeated several times.
3What were the results for the Watson and Rayner study on classical conditioningAfter 7 times, when the rat was presented to Albert again, he screamed and tried to get away. He did this even though no metal bar was hit, and there was no loud noise. He also screamed when he was shown a santa claus mask and a fur coat.
4What was the conclusion of the Watson and Rayner study on classical conditioningFear responses can be learnt, and even very young children can learn in the way suggested by classical conditioning.
5What is the evaluation for the Watson and Rayner study on classical conditioning1) It is unethical.
2) There was no control group, so we don't know that the conditioning caused the fear response.
3) It only involved one child, and so more evidence may be needed.
