Watson's experiment aimed to demonstrate that fear can be learned through classical conditioning. By associating a neutral stimulus (a white rat) with an unconditioned stimulus (a loud noise), Watson conditioned a fear response in Little Albert (the child participant). The experiment provided evidence that emotional responses could be classically conditioned in humans.
