Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

One of the earliest explanations of how ( animals, children, elderley ) and humans learn was proposed by ( Pavlov, Skinner, Bandura ) in 1927. He noticed that when a ( dog, cat, horse, baby ) he was studying heard the food buckets being brought it salivated. He knew this was a ( reflex, primitive, normal ) response but he also realised that the dogs had learnt to salivate at the sound. This encouraged him to try to make them salivate in response to another event. He set up trials over a few days and each time the dog was fed a bell was rung. Eventually the bell was rung even when no food was offered and he found the salivation amount was the same as when food was present.

Question 11 of 14

Watson and Rayner (1920) conditioned humans. The aim of this experiment was to see if fear could be conditioned into humans. Choose the method, result and conclusion from below.

Select one or more of the following:

  • Method: Albert (11 months old) had no fear of white furry objects but in the experiment every time he reached for a white rat a metal bar was struck with hammer behind him. This was done several times.

  • Method: Albert (11 months old) had no fear of horses but in the experiment every time he was shown one a confederate shouted loudly. This was done several times.

  • Results: After 7 times Albert screamed and tried to get away from the animal whenever he saw it
    even though the bar was no longer being hit.

  • Results: After 10 times Albert screamed and sobbed and tried to hide from the animal. He even became afraid of Santa.

  • Conclusion: Fear can be learnt.

  • Conclusion: Classical conditioning does not work on humans
