• Randomised Control Trial

How old was Little Albert?

• 1 month old

• 11 months old

• 9 months old

In the Little Albert experiment, the Neutral stimulus is the:

• rat
• fear
• loud noise
• mother

In the Little Albert experiment, the Unconditioned Stimulus is the:

• loud noise
• fear
• rat
• mother

In the Little Albert experiment, the Conditioned stimulus is the:

• rat
• fear
• mother
• loud noise

In the Little Albert experiment, the unconditioned response is the:

• fear
• white rat
• mother
• loud noise

In the Little Albert experiment, the conditioned response is the:

• rat
• fear
• mother
• loud noise

What was the main aim of Watson & Rayner's (1920) study?

• To see whether operant conditioning principles could work in humans.

• To see whether classical conditioning principles could work in humans.

• To see whether social conditioning principles could work in humans.

• To see whether punishments could produce fear.

Which of the following was not a conclusion of the study?

• It is possible to create a conditioned emotional response in humans after only a few pairings of the stimuli.

• It might be necessary to repeat the pairings of the UCS and NS/CS as there is some extinction of the response.

• A conditioned response may be transferred to other similar objects and settings (generalisation).

• The strength of the unconditioned response reduces as a result of a strengthening of the conditioned response.
