Learning Links

(Note, the links to videos are to YouTube, so you can't watch them at school unless you are an awesome hacker and know a proxy work-around)

Here is the John Watson Little Albert video clip we saw in class. It has Spanish subtitles which is nice.

This article on the APA website describes how some college students figured out who "Little Albert" really was.

Unfortunately we don't know if is fear of furry things lasted beyond Watson's research.
 

Operant Conditioning:

Here is the Skinner video clip we saw in class.
