Ans 1: The objective of the experiment is to demonstrate the effect of conditioned stimulus on people
and how certain ethical issues have to be kept in consideration before doing such menacing
experiments. Watson wanted to extend Pavlovs experiment on human to understand whether the
same conclusion is deduced or indifferences arise.
Q2) Identify the independent and dependent variables?
Ans 2: the independent variables are the loud noise and white rate; the dependent variable is the
response of a child.
Q3) what are the different manipulations of the independent variable?
Ans 3: the manipulations deduced could be his stimulus generalization with ranynors fur coat and
Watson wearing a Santa Claus beard. So the white rat made little albert cry to other different white
things which, in any way, resembled to the independent variable.
Q4) Is it a quasi-experiment or an alternative experiment? Why?
Ans 4: it is an alternative experiment since the researcher focuses on determining the causality of the
research. The researcher wanted to find the variability of the conditioned response. Also, the researcher
has put independent variable to control and change the cause of the effect.
Q5) symbolically write down the experiment.
