The basis of their study was conditioning a 9-month old baby, referred to as " Albert ", to fear a white rat, which had previously been a neutral stimulus.

The idea is that if the neutral stimulus and whatever other stimulus that triggers a response is paired together often enough that the neutral stimulus will produce the reflexive response.

As in Pavlovian conditioning, an initially neutral stimulus, in this case environmental cues, is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally produces a response prior to conditioning ( the unconditioned response ).

For another person, the neutral stimulus was a clean dollar bill, and a dollar bill that the patient thought had been used to buy drugs was used to provoke his obsessions about contamination.

Directly afterwards, participants are presented with a neutral stimulus ( most often a projected'onto the neutral stimulus such that it is rated as more or less pleasing than would be expected from solitary presentation.

The rat, originally a neutral stimulus, had become a conditioned stimulus, and it was eliciting an emotional response ( conditioned response ) similar to the distress ( unconditioned response ) originally given to the noise ( unconditioned stimulus ).

The experiments of Ivan Pavlov required several pairings of the neutral stimulus ( e . g ., a ringing bell ) with the unconditioned stimulus ( i . e ., meat powder ) before the neutral stimulus elicited a response.
