Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Watson and Rayner's "Little Albert" study, the unconditioned stimulus was a loud noise, which consistently elicited an unconditioned response of fear in the infant. The rat was initially a neutral stimulus, but through the process of classical conditioning, it became a conditioned stimulus that elicited fear in Little Albert. Therefore, choice A correctly identifies the unconditioned stimulus as the noise.
