In this video I explain two examples of aversive conditioning; John Watson's “Little Albert” study pairing presentation of a rat with a loud noise, and John Garcia and Robert Koelling's work on learned taste aversions in rats. Taste aversions demonstrate our biological preparedness for some learning, which allows us to learn certain types of associations more easily than others.
