Question 30

A psychology teacher is discussing Watson and Rayner's (1920) 'Little Albert' study with her class.

Marcus says, 'The study was incredibly cruel and wouldn't be allowed today, so we can't learn anything useful from it.'

Chloe argues, 'But the level of control they had was excellent, and it proved that fear is learned.'

Discuss Watson and Rayner's 'Little Albert' study of classical conditioning. Refer to Marcus's and Chloe's comments in your answer.
