This experiment was done in the 1920's ... whatever's happened to 'Little Albert', it happened years ago. They never actually found out what happened to him afterwards.

The "old looking footage" in the middle is from a film made by Watson and Raynor, depicted in the clip, likely around 1920. The film was made for teaching purposes after the experiment was over which is why Albert appears to be older than 9 months. Watson had intended to extinguish the conditioned fear but was interrupted by Albert's mother before he could do so. As for the rest, it an obvious is clever fraud, perhaps perpetrated by someone who dislikes Watson as suggested by Ickkyping.

Ive just been studying this in psychology...that's the worst experiment Ive ever seen, they were to rough with Albert and the animals if there was a ethics committee back then they would have been sued. Kinda wish they had been after seeing that. The textbooks don't list that kind of stuff

I really pity the baby. He may still feel the effects of this classical conditioning in his later years of his life. He'll not be able to lead a normal life having phobia of anything thats fluffy. I hope something was done to take away his fears. I hope he'll be okay.

Albert wasn't an orphan... he was the child of an unwed mother who was employed at that hospital as a wet-nurse. Since the social standing of an unwed mother at the time was slightly above that of dirt, the experimenters could more or less do what they wanted to the kids that these unwed wetnurses left in daycare while the mothers went off to feed other peoples' babies, for which they would be paid- think they got room/board at the institute, too. and their own babies got whatever milk was left.
