Keep yur kids away from Bananas

I was reading my textbook on child development regarding the different types of psychologist and theorist. I came across John Watson. He was inspired by a Russian psychologist, Ivan Pavlov’s studies of animal learning. The theory of behaviourism – directly observerable events that links stimuli and responses. Pavlov is the guy who trained his dogs so salivate at the sound of a bell by pairing it with the presentation of food.

Watson wanted to try this theory out on kids. So he taught Albert, an 11-month-old baby, to fear a soft white rat – by presenting it several times with a sharp, loud sound, which naturally scared the baby. When Albert first saw the rat, he would eagerly reach out and touch the little fury fella. But now, he turns away and begins to cry whenever he sees the rat.

This sorta reminded me of the talk i had with Uri, Sufi, Larrie and Kevin over at Coffeebean regarding the banana. Its scares me to even wonder how we bring up our child would affect their whole life. Yikes!
