white rat

[RF]

So, a long time ago there was a scientist – John Watson. He was creator of behaviorism. In the name of science, he took a boy who was 9 months old at that moment from the hospital. The boy was orphan. It remainds me of Black Sheep „I used to be an orphan boy/Without a family or a choice, choice, choice/You said it's all in my head”. Dr. Watson closed this boy in his laboratory room, and wanted to make this child feel fear. When boy was In this room, a WHITE RAT was released, and every time the boy named Albert saw this rat, Dr. Watson was hitting rod/gong, because He wanted that noise to be associated with the rat to the boy, and fear him more. After some time, scientist stoped using noise, but noticed that the boy is still scared of the rat, even without sound. And the boy transferd his fear to other things, that remainded him of that rat. He was scared of everything that was small and white, like rabbits, dogs, even beards. The boy spent some time In the laboratory, but was adopted after that. We don’t know what happend to him after that. His real name probably wasn’t even Albert, but there’s a rumors, that He spent his life In big fear and had a lot of suicide attempts, because of that experiment.
