Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Watson's demonstration with Little Albert involved classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (the rat) was paired with a natural response (fear) through repeated association. Positive reinforcement involves adding a desired stimulus to increase a behavior, negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase a behavior, and operant conditioning involves shaping behavior through reward and punishment based on consequences. None of these principles were directly demonstrated in Watson's Little Albert experiment.
