Its is unethical this times but not in John B. Watson's times. The knowledge gain through this experiment has help thousands of kids to cope with fear problems, among other things. How many of the murder, abused, and even raped kids(sometimes in the hands of their own parents) have helped as much as Little Albert???

John Watson was a prick. It doesn't matter what happened to Albert post-experiment: what is important is the fact that Watson could not know with certainty how much this would effect the child. But the fact that he went on and did the experiment, without the mother's permission, is a testament to the fact that he was an unethical and very bad psychologist.

actually, an article came out several years ago about what happened to little albert. i think it was published in american psychologist.

They break almost all of the unethical rules of psychology today, and no one really knows what happened to little Albert... not happy. They never reversed the effects of the phobia they gave him, so who knows how it affected him.

For the concept of behaviorism to work, one would understand that in the absence of reinforcement, eventually the fear Albert exhibited would be extinguished. Because of Albert's age, it's highly unlikely he was traumatized, although there is no question such research practices are unethical, and today impossible to conduct.

No, before the experiment little albert wasn't afraid of anything, but then after the experiment albert was afraid of all furry things real or stuffed!

if you go back and read the original research article it clearly states this his mother worked at the hospital.

I understand the unethical part. Some people don't believe this followed him the rest of his life, but I do. I was never afraid of lighting until I heard of someone being struck by lighting. To this day, anytime it is lighting outside, I freak out beyond belief.

Apparently it DID scar him for life (if I remember correctly), and he went on to fear all white, furry, fluffy things. Even if it didn't, it was hugely unethical to do it as they had no idea if there would be consequences or not. Still, very influencial stuff, often lack of ethics benefits the science world!

ACtually, Albert's mother was a wet nurse and Albert was not an orphan.
