B Watson and Rosalie Rayner, an infant was exposed to a white rat to which he initially exhibited no fear. The researchers then presented the rat accompanied by a loud clanging noise.

In 2009, psychologist Hall P. Beck and colleagues published the results of their efforts to solve the mystery of the boy's true identity. In an article that appeared in American Psychologist, Beck along with Gary Irons and Sharman Levinson presented compelling evidence that Little Albert was actually a little boy named Douglas Merritte. The boy was the son of wetnurse Arvilla Merritte who was employed at the pediatric hospital at John Hopkins University where Watson also worked. Sadly, the researchers discovered that the child had died at age six of hydrocephalus .This medical condition, also known as "water on the brain," happens when there is a buildup of fluid inside the skull which can lead to convulsions, enlargement of the head and mental disability. http://psychology.about.com/od/classicalconditioning/a/sad-tale-of-littlealbert.htm Behaviorism Skinner’s free will?
