They choose little Albert because he was a healthy infant and one of the best developed youngsters at that hospital. It was because of these reasons they felt they would do him no harm with the experiment they were getting ready to inflict on him. They would soon find out that their assumptions were wrong!

Ideally‚ the teacher would leave the consultative process with a new strategy and know when to apply it. In other words‚ the consultee should demonstrate stimulus generalization. However‚ this does not necessarily happen organically. Rather the consultant should be proactive in the training stage to foster stimulus generalization. A barrier to stimulus generalization may be insufficient trained exemplars. Perhaps a teacher only applies the intervention when behavior clearly meets the behavioral definition

To test the experience of sensory adaption‚ three experiments were conducted‚ involving touch and taste. Experiment 1 In the first experiment‚ I take a piece of sandpaper and rub my index finger over it and rate it on a scale on one to seven‚ soft to coarse. The first time‚ the sandpaper felt very coarse‚ so I

Research Essay: Elements of Classic Conditioning In the Little Albert experiment of Conditioned Emotional Reactions‚ baby Albert was exposed to various stimuli which were paired with a loud banging noise on a bar.
