Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Watson and Rayner's "Little Albert" study, the unconditioned stimulus was a loud noise that was produced to elicit an unconditioned response of fear. The conditioned stimulus was a white rat, and the neutral stimulus was Little Albert's initial response to the rat, which was not significant until it was paired with the loud noise. Therefore, A correctly identifies an unconditioned stimulus.
