John B. Watson is known for his work in classical conditioning and is most famously associated with the Little Albert experiment, which demonstrated how emotional reactions (in this case, fear) could be learned through classical conditioning. Pavlov is also associated with classical conditioning but focused more on the physiological responses of animals. Skinner is associated with operant conditioning, which focuses on the relationship between behavior and its consequences. Bandura is associated with social learning theory, which emphasizes observational learning and modeling.
