John Watson could have
shown little Albert the white rat many times without any noise following, this

This was a famous experiment by John Watson and Rosalie Rayner for which they received
much criticism. The child whose name was "Albert" but is famously
known as "Little Albert" moved shortly after the experiment so it was
a mystery what happened to him until recently when he was found as “Douglas
Merritte” who died before he was found.
