Classical Conditioning- Little Albert 3 questions!

1. I believe that the results of the experiment does not support the hypothesis because in the experiment they used an infant and tried to classically condition him to certain things. From watching the video I couldn't tell that the baby had changed. There hypothesis was most human behaviors and emotional reactions are built up on conditioned responses. When watching the video i did not see that he supported his hypothesis.

2. When Albert was exposed to a rabbit mouse and a dog he became afraid of them all with out of thinking because he become accustomed to thinking that white furry animals were scary.

3. The principles of classical conditioning used to reduce peters fear of rabbits were that they would strike a metal bar with a  hammer behind him. They would place furry animals in front of him and then hit the metal bar behind at the same time.
