Later on Albert was put into a brighter room with more people than in the other. After thirty one days in this room, He was still terrified of the objects given in the other room. After the study, Albert was going to be reconditioned by Watson, but had died before any reconditioning could have happened. The study showed a great deal of how the emotional behavior could be affected by simple stimulus. Not only this, but it also helped launch behaviorism. It is also said that other emotions can be learned in a similar matter. It is said that fear can produce something called a phobia. A phobia is considered something that you are absolutely terrified of. It was actually once claimed that a phobia was from an inherited factor. After reading this whole article taken from the book, I have got to say, I feel saddened by what I read. I cannot even think about being put through this. That poor little boy deserved nothing but happiness and this test prevented any chance of that of happening. What were they thinking when they chose him? I guess they believed he was perfect to start at that young of an age but I would never have approved
