It was a famous behaviorist experiment of 1920 conducted by John Watson.
The 11-month infant, little Albert, had not been frightened of any animals until a gentle white rat was placed in his lap and a sudden loud noise of two steel bars struck together behind his head, several times in succession. Soon then, little Albert began to cry at the very sight of the Rat, as of a dog, or even a fur coat, and to exhibit symptoms of Terror preceding the claiming of the steel bars.
This author is no joke.
