Question

John B. Watson conditioned Little Albert to be afraid of a white rat. Little Albert also became afraid of other white things, such as a white bunny and a Santa Claus beard. What kind of new conditioning could help him stop fearing all those other white things

Answer 1

Discrimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination is a term in psychology, which is used both in classical and operant conditioning, to describe a situation which involves the ability to distinguish between one stimulus and other similar stimuli.

The purpose is to have in both cases, responding only to certain stimuli, and not responding to those that are similar.

Hence, in this case, kind of new conditioning that could help him stop fearing all those other white things is DISCRIMINATION, as this will help Little Albert to fear only WHITE RAT, and not other White things.
