Answer :
Albert learned to fear rats when researchers used classical conditioning and presented a loud sound as the conditioned stimulus.
The Little Albert experiment deals with the application of classical conditioning in generating phobias. Phobias are fear which is out of proportion to the object or situation of fear.
In this experiment Albert, a baby was made to be afraid of the rat. At first sight of the rat, he did not respond with fear. When he has introduced to the rat again with a loud noise, he got scared and started crying. This experiment of presenting rat with a loud noise was repeated a few times.
