In the 'rabbit-after' segment, Little Albert makes a head movement at about second 24-26 that is suggestive (to me, at least) of a startle response. If it is a startle response, then perhaps what is being depicted in this segment of the video is the actual acquisition stage, that is the UCER in the presence of the white rat, rather than the actual CER to that rat, correct?

In class, we’ve been discussing the Watson & Rayner (1920) study of “Little Albert.” It’s been a while since I’ve read the criticisms of Watson’s experimental procedure, so I’ll need to go through those again. But one point I’ve been making is that Watson seemed unconcerned with making sure that the “stimuli” were presented in a uniform manner before and after the conditioning of Albert. Below are links to film clips of how he presented the white rat and the rabbit to Albert before and after the conditioning procedure. After the procedure, (a) Rayner seem to be throwing the rabbit at Albert, and (b) Watson keeps placing the rat on Albert’s body, which he did not do before the conditioning procedure—although to be sure of this, I’ll need to get the entire film (which Penn State is charging about $200 for !!!!)
