Little Albert’s Experiment
Dr. Surjya Kumar Saikia
Department of Zoology
Visva-Bharati University
Ivan Pavlov showed that classical
conditioning applied to
animals. Did it also apply to
humans?
In a famous
experiment, Watson
and Rayner (1920)
showed that it did. In
Psychology, it is know
as ‘Little Albert
Experiment’
www.simplypsychology.org
Little Albert was a 9-
month-old infant who
was tested on his
reactions to various
neutral stimuli.
The Little Albert Experiment was conducted before ethical
guidelines were implemented in psychology, and this study can
only be judged retrospectively.
For example,
(i) the experiment was conducted without the knowledge or
consent of Albert's parents,
(ii) creating a fear response is an example of psychological harm,
and finally
(iii) Watson and Raynor did not desensitize Albert to his fear of
rats.
