John Watson and Rosalie Rayner (1920) conditioned an 11-month-old baby named Albert to fear a white rat by pairing it with a loud noise. Albert already feared the loud noise. After the conditioning had taken place, the researchers also found that Albert was afraid of furry white and grey objects, such as a rabbit and a Santa Claus mask.

A) higher-order conditioning had occurred.
B) stimulus generalization had occurred.
C) discrimination had occurred.
D) extinction had occurred.
