Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Watson's teaching of Little Albert to fear rats and other furry animals is an example of classical conditioning. This is because he associated the previously neutral stimulus (the rat) with a naturally occurring stimulus (the loud noise), leading to a learned response (fear) to the rat alone. Positive and negative reinforcement, as well as operant conditioning, involve learning through consequences of behavior, rather than through associations between stimuli.
