John B Watson and Rosalie Rayner conducted an experiment in the 1920’s. The experiment included an infant named Albert, who was unemotional and hardly had any exposure to a stimulus to cause an exuberant emotional reaction. Emotional test had been conducted on Albert; a stimulus that was used in the initial experiment, items such as a white rat, dog, rabbit, and other various “furry” items, he showed no fear in any instance.…
Chapter 3 begins with a brief examination of the history of classical conditioning. The research of Pavlov, Twitmyer, Vul’fson and Snarskii is presented. The historical accounts are used as a basis for defining the classical conditioning paradigm. Several experimental situations, including fear conditioning, eyeblink conditioning, sign tracking, and taste-aversion learning, are described in detail. The specifics of excitatory and inhibitory conditioning are then presented. These specifics include definitions, conditioning and control procedures, and measurement of the conditioned responses. The chapter concludes with an examination of the prevalence of classical conditioning. Classical conditioning mechanisms involved in responses during causal judgment, food preference learning, nursing, and sexual behavior are presented.…
John B. Watson famous “Little Alert Experiment” was best known as a case study showing and proving evidence of classical conditioning and also an example of stimulus generalization. It was carried out by John B. Watson and his graduate student, Rosalie Rayner, at Johns Hopkins University and its’ first findings were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.…

(AG). SUMMARY STATEMENT The Watsons Family which has a mother named Wilona, a father named Daniel, an eldest son named Byron, a middle named Kenny, and the youngest child Joetta live in Flint, Michigan and go to Birmingham, Alabama. The oldest son, Byron, is a juvenile delinquent¨ and needs the guidance of their strict grandmother, Grandma Sands, to straighten out Byron. Also, when the family heads to the south they realize that there is racial discrimination towards African Americans which leads to a bombing of a church. (CLAIM) Christopher Paul Curtis’ historical fiction novel The Watsons Go To Birmingham -- 1963 (TAG-- Title, author, genre) is an allegorical novel because the events in the novel, though they are fiction, relate to real life events that happened during the 1060s in the States.…
Imagine multiple people in a lab trying to discover the structure of something you didn't even know existed, what you are imagining is James Watson. Watson changed molecular biology in amazing ways that changed science forever. He discovered the structure of DNA. James Watson had an extremely influential life. His main discovery was the structure of DNA, but he also discovered the helical construction of tobacco mosaic virus. The discovery of the molecular structure of DNA was a ginormous scientific breakthrough. Watsons current research includes the role of RNA in protein synthesis and invitro fertalization studies.…
Behaviour is, by definition, “everything an organism says and does” (Miltenberg, 2012). For example, if a person walked or an elephant slept, this would be considered behaviour. Skinner (1968) suggested that behaviour consists of both public and private events; this idea became classified as radical behaviourism. It has become a philosophy of the science of behaviour; an experimental analysis of behaviour that attempts to explain all behaviour, including private behaviour (Chiesa, 1994). The idea contrasted from the traditional methodological behaviourism of Watson (1913) and developed the empirical study of behavioural analysis.…
How were Watson and Rayner able to condition Albert to react to different stimuli such as masks, other animals, and a fur coat? Explain the concept of generalization. “Watson again subjected Albert to noise and rat pairing, but the dog barked in the middle of the session, rendering the session particularly problematic.”( Watson J. B., & Rayner, R. (1920). Conditioned emotional reactions. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 3(1), 1–14.) After thirty-one days, Albert was said to show "fear" when touching a mask, a sealskin coat, the rat, a dog, and a rabbit. At the same time, however, he…
James watson is a biologist, zoologist and a geneticist. He is the co-creator of the famous “double helix” A.K.A the physical form of DNA. He was born on the 6th April 1928 and (at the time of writing) he is 88 years old. He speak English and lives in America.…

I never thought that I would find myself along a desert highway taking care of a man that I never knew. But early in my career this is exactly where I found myself. This is an example of displaying Watson’s Human Caring Theory, and how I took care of a man, in the middle of nowhere, with little more than a bottle of water and a pair of stolen gloves.…
In American history many people have contributed to shaping this country; however, James Watson stands out as a truly important contributor. James Watson stands is an influential to shaping molecular biology because of his discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA, intelligence, and ability to adapt to different scientific fields.…
Using an eight-month old little boy named Albert;Watson hit a steel rod and got a fearful reaction from Little Albert. Every time the rod was struck they would show him a white rat. After just seven times of striking the rod and showing him the rat, they were able to just show Albert the white rat and get a fearful response. Albert also showed a generalization of his conditioned response by reacting fearfully to other white furry items (Meyer, 2001). With the results of this experiment, Watson concluded that adult fears and phobias must be simple conditioned responses that we established when we were very young and they have stayed with us throughout our…
The Little Albert Experiment was one of the most well known fear conditioning experiments. John B Watson showed that not only can humans be classically conditioned, but also furthered Pavlov’s research by show that emotions can be classically conditioned. Watson exposed a nine-month-old baby to various white stimuli such as: rats, rabbits, monkeys, etc. He observed that the child showed no fear towards the stimuli, but then whenever the child was exposed to the white stimuli followed by a loud noise it made the baby afraid and made him cry. After some time, the baby became afraid of any white stimuli and instantly began to cry because he associated it with a loud noise. Although we know now that fear can be conditioned to humans, researchers…
