The case of little albert is used by behaviorists to explain ____.
a. ​obsessive-compulsive disorder
b. ​generalized anxiety disorder
c. ​posttraumatic stress disorder
d. ​phobias

Respuesta :

The answer is D. phobias. The little Albert experiment demonstrated that emotional responses can be conditioned in human beings. The 9 months boy was exposed to different stimuli which included a rabbit, masks, a white rat, burning newspapers and a monkey. After some time he was exposed to the white rat and later a loud noise of metal was made and it scared the boy. This exposure was repeated and eventually the boy became afraid of white furry things including animals.
