Hank and others, If my memory serves correct, the Little Albert study and the Little Peter study are 2 different experiments. The Little Albert study was conducted by Watson & Rayner, with the key test animal (CS) a rat. Unfortunately, the study was terminated before Watson & Rayner could extinguish Albert's fear to the rat.
The Little Peter study was conducted by Mary Cover Jones (1924). It involved Peter and fear conditioning to a rabbit. Later, Jones conducted counterconditioning with the rabbit and an appetitive US to eliminate the fear responses to the rabbit.
