The little albert experiment was very horrible. Though it aims to test trauma and fear if it is acquired or not I still cant imagine the horrors the child experienced during the experiment. A young child like Albert could've been someone who adored fury animals,but because of the experiment he was traumatized. That's why people should never be used as test subjects.

Yes, Watson was quite cruel to Little Albert. That said, I believe that people can be used as test subject, but with strict ethical codes, legal regulation, and institutional review boards, as it is the case today.
Yes indeed. Its good that there are ethical standards that researchers abide to prevent cases like little alberts'. Anyway you have a great article here. I will be following you 😊 😊 Looking forward to your future posts. @lifenbeauty
