READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE
For many centuries the question of how our minds work was left to theologians and philosophers. But at the beginning of the twentieth century a new science in which the speculative theories of the past were confirmed or disproved by the scientific method emerged – experimental psychology. At the forefront of this research was J. B. Watson. His area of interest was the origin of human emotions. Do we learn them or do we have them when we are born? In particular Watson wanted to study fear and was prepared to go to whatever lengths to study his theory.
Watson’s subject was a 9 months old infant Albert. During the experiment Watson presented the child with things that are often considered frightening – a rat, fire, a clown mask. At first Albert was not afraid of these things. But then Watson tormented the child with loud unexpected noises as he was playing with them. Sure enough, Albert learnt to associate these things with the unpleasant experience. Even when the noises were stopped Albert withdrew his body and puckered his face when presented with the rat and mask once more.
Such abusive and disturbing experiments would never be permitted nowadays. The film that Watson made of the experiment makes discomforting viewing, as the child is interminably and cold-heartedly tortured by the items which he has been taught to fear. Nonetheless this was a landmark work with profound influence. Through it Watson confirmed that humans learn fear by association, and as a result they can unlearn it – a discovery that still impacts the work of behavioural therapists today.
