Session 3. To see if the fear was transferred, albert was brought back 5 days later and presented with some toy blocks, this was a neutral stimuli that could be used to stop the fear response. Presentations were then made of a rate, rabbit, dog , seal-fur coat, cotton wool, watsons hair and a santa mask - these all caused a negative response
Session 4. To see if time had affect the response, 5 days later albert was presented with the rat on it's own. The respinse was weaker - so they decided to 'freshen-up' the response by presenting a rat by using loud noise, this was also done to a dog and a rabbit. Albert was then taken to a lecture theatre to see if the response was the same - albert reactived negatively once again to the rat, rabbit and dog. In the different room the fear response was slight
Session 5. One month leater Albert was tested with various stimuli (same as session 3) - albert continued to show fear response
Conclusions: Session 2 - after 5 presentations the fear response was evident,so it is possible to condition through classical conditioning. Session 3 and 4, transference of the fear had been made to the other stimuli objects. Session 5, time had not removed the fear response
