For example:
- At 11 months and 10 days old Little Albert moved his hand
towards the white rat, but moved it away before he touched the
rat (1). By 11 months and 15 days, when the white rat was
presented, Little Albert leaned away from the rat then crawled
away from it (1). Little Albert also became scared of other objects
such as a white rabbit from which he crawled away whilst crying
(1). When they took Little Albert to a bright well-lit lecture room
and first presented the white rat Little Albert moved his hand
away from the rat but did not cry (1).
