The last point that was one of the most amazing that really caught my interest for psychology was the experiment with humans and to be more specific, these experiments were related to babies as the example of Albert. “ The "Little Albert" experiment, performed in 1919 by John Watson of Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, was the first to show that a human could be classically conditioned. The fate of Albert B has intrigued researchers ever since.” Watson applied the scheme of the psychologist Pavlov classical conditioning for the first time in humans. To do this, with the help of his assistant Rosalie Rayner, selected Albert, an 11-month-old baby who was previously made a series of tests check that had the emotional stability required by the experiment, in short, to show that Albert did not have prior to the objects that were going to show phobias. The association between a noise caused by the blow of a hammer on a metal bar and the presence of a white rat, which previously did not generate any negative response, eventually provoke an emotional fear response to the mere presence of the animal. Fear that the little Albert felt toward the white rat generalized to other animals and similar objects (dogs, rabbits, wool coats, etc.), showing that fear could be learned by classical conditioning.

In conclusion, This Psychology class has changed all my mind related with psychology elements. There is not going to be any more a crazy people definition in my thoughts, the most amazing things that I have learned in this class has helped me a lot to develop more my knowledge in this field. Even though my career is not related to psychology, this class had been a great help to understand more the human mind and how it works, that there are not crazy people, there is just people that need to be trait as patience and need help to get over those mental diseases. These three points that I mentioned before, were the most interesting elements of Psychology that changed all my point of view of this subject. “Most people do not really want freedom because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.” (Freud).
