Topic: Albert Watson


  
  The History of Instructional Design: J.B.Watson and Comparative Psychology
Watson could therefore reject the notion that some mental traces of stimuli and responses needed to be retained in an animals mind until a reinforcer caused an association between them to be strengthened, which is a rather mentalistic consequence of the law of effect.
Watson believed that mental illness was the result of 'habit distortion' which might be caused by fortuitous learning of inappropriate associations which then go on to influence a person's behaviour so that it become ever more abnormal.
Watson was keen to use this as evidence for the behavioural basis of phobias, however, apparently Albert's reactions to the rate were quite mild.

 Whatever Happened to Little Albert?
Albert seemed to show a strong fear response to the rat, the rabbit, the dog, and the sealskin coat; a "negative" response to the mask and Watson's hair; and a mild response to the cotton.
To illustrate the process of stimulus generalization, Albert is often said to have feared every white, furry object-although he actually showed fear mostly of nonwhite objects (the rabbit, the dog, the sealskin coat, Watson's hair), and did not even fear everything with hair (the observers).
Relevant to Albert, Seligman (1971) hypothesized that the strength of human phobic reactions (i.e., their resistance to extinction) is due to the high degree of preparedness of certain stimuli (e.g., snakes).
