A nine-month-old baby named “Little Albert” was the subject of an experiment by John B. Watson that mimicked Pavlov’s training of dogs by using a series of repeated procedures that generated a specific reaction. Watson conducted this study to observe “Little Albert’s reaction to new animal companions. Watson’s wife would pound hard on a pipe behind Albert’s head whenever a white mouse was brought into the room, scaring Albert, and causing a cry from him. They repeated this process multiple times, stopping when a mouse was added. In the absence of any external noise, Albert would still wail and avoid the mouse. Even when there was no startling sound to accompany it, he began to fear it.

All things white, including Santa’s beard, eventually terrified Albert to the point of tears. Before Watson could desensitize Albert, the experiment was stopped by his mother.
