The conditioned response (CR) in Watson and Rayner's "Little Albert" study was fear in response to the sight of the rat. This fear response had been conditioned to the rat through pairing it with a loud clanging sound, which originally caused no fear on its own. Once the rat became associated with the loud sound, the sight of the rat alone was enough to evoke the fear response (CR) in Little Albert.
