Really good video. Answered who Little Albert really was. Just wish we could find out more, how he contracted the illness? Sadly he only lived 6years, but had the effects of the experiment played any part in his 6years of life? Theres a million more questions i could ask, but again really pleased with the work and answers we now have.

It’s the firt time I acess Psych Files and I feel very glad to find such an interesting content abou psychology for free on internet. Congratulations! Little Albert’s experiment always shoked me in a way and it’s good to see a more humanitarian view of the case. Very good video.

It is critical to note that the death of Little Albert does not discredit the ethical issues associated with Watson’s empirical study. It would be intriguing to discover how he contracted hydrocephalus. Perhaps exhumation and modern technology could examine his cause of death.

Maybe that will be someone else’s great discovery. Well, allons-y!

The “James Dean” of pschology – I like that. Liyah: I too was a bit moved by the whole thing. It’s a fascinating story. Thanks for the comments.

This is a very interesting episode.
Considering the debate Nature vs Nurture, some might say: ” Genetic holds the gun, environment pulls the trigger.”
Little Albert is and will stay the James Dean of Psychology, an Experimental icon.
Thank you for your work.
