Little Albert

1. I think Watson and Rayner's hypothesis didn't support the actual experiment because they used an infant and tried to classically condition him to different items and animals. When I watched the video the hypothesis didn't match to what they did in the video.
2. In the video they used a white rabbit, dog and mouse and they tried to make Albert afraid of them and after a while when anything went by him he would try to get away.
3. Watson and Rayner would try to classically condition Albert by putting a rabbit by him and when Albert went by it they hit a hammer on a metal bar so it would make a loud noise and did this to different animals too. Albert became afraid of them because of the loud noise and would try to get away.
