Dear Ryo,
maybe the following article contains some hints:
Harris, B. (1979). Whatever happened to Little Albert?
_American Psychologist, 34_, 151-160.
It mostly deals with the incomplete
and erroneous reporting of the "experiment" in textbooks,
but I seem to remember that false claims of Little Albert's
further destiny were also reported.
Two related articles:
Samelson, F. (1980). J.B. Watson's little Albert, Cyril Burt's twins,
and the need for a critical science. AmPsych, 35, 619-625.
Wilson, T.D., De Paulo, B.M., Mook, D.G. & Klaaren, K.J. (1993). Scientists'
evaluations of research: The biasing effects of importance of the topic.
_Psychological Science, 4_, 322-325.
Regards,
Rainer
