Studies Upon the Behaviour of the Human Infant: Experimental Investigation of Babies

Synopsis
Authentic film documentation of the classic ‘Little Albert’ experiment by John B Watson and Rosalie Raynor, showing empirical evidence of classical conditioning in humans. Using methodology considered deeply unethical nowadays the film demonstrates how 11-month-old Albert was conditioned to fear a white rat, a white rabbit, a white bearded man and a dog by frightening him with a loud noise. The film is preceded by footage demonstrating the reflex reactions of a newborn infant.
