Little Albert experiment
After observing children in the field, Watson hypothesized that the fearful response of children to loud noises is an innate unconditioned response.  He wanted to test the notion that by following the principles of the procedure now known as "classical conditioning", he could use this unconditioned response to condition a child to fear a distinctive stimulus that normally would not be feared by a child (in this case, furry objects).
