Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spontaneous recovery is the reappearance of a previously extinguished response. In the case of Little Albert, if his fear of a rat was extinguished, there is a possibility that the fear could come back spontaneously, even if he had not been exposed to the rat or the loud noise again. Option B is incorrect because Little Albert did not develop a fear of loud noises. Option C is incorrect because his fear was conditioned to the rat and the loud noise together. Option D is incorrect for the same reason as option B. Option E is incorrect because there is no evidence to support the idea that his fear will only be shown around a rat, and there is no evidence to suggest that he would generalize his fear to rats of any color.
