whoops it wasnt skinner it was watson, letting rats loose on little albert and honking a loud blasting horn to scare him so he would be conditioned to be terrified. he was going to teach him to be afraid then cure him, but he could never cure him. i saw films of it in undergrad psych class. It horrified me to the point of giving me nightmares. little baby albert would laugh and clap his hand when the rats were let out on him cause he was just a baby, then the horn would blast and he would startle and cry, just scream crying in terror. Someone should have gelded watson at around that point. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
