How is his fear of the rat readily apparent when they don't show him the rat again. That was a rabbit and some big stuffed animal, not a rat.

[berndpegritz]

Yes, but the effect encroaches on similar looking animals

[bellyoffire]

a rabbit is not similar to a rat nor is a giant stuffed animal.

[MrPloumidis]

I believe it was the fact that it was "furry" and also of the same texture which made him scared in the first place.

[berndpegritz]

Yes right... I take it, that they've cut the other scenes with the rat =)

[DrKarlsOffice]

Albert had shown no sign of fear toward the variety of objects initially. Objects including a dog, rabbit, a white rat, a santa claus mask and a fur coat. The psychologists formed a conditioned response in Albert by making a loud noise every time the child went to touch the white rat. After a few sessions Albert developed a fear of the white rat. However it was then discovered that the other objects, due to similar traits such as fur, would also elicit fear in Albert.

[DrKarlsOffice]

This is explained through a phenomenon known as stimulus generalisation where by Albert responds to stimulus with similar attributes as the white rat.

[MrPloumidis]

Aka Classical Conditioning : ) working on a stimulus-response basis :p
