A Beautiful Mind

In the movie A Beautiful Mind John Nash showed maladaptive behavior by intentionally hurting himself on his window.His unjustifiable behavior was him thinking that he was apart of the government and his job was to decode messages. A disturbing behavior he exhibited was when he almost drowns his son in the bath tub. Finally an atypical behavior he portrayed throughout the film is him having delusions that everyone was out to get him.

Little Albert Questions

I think their hypothesis was supported because Little Albert had the same response to items similar to the rat such as a white rabbit and a dog. He was fearful of each of the objects. Albert's response became generalized because Albert had the same response to all objects that were white and furry. Principles of classical conditioning were used to reduce Peter's fear by pairing the feared objects with pleasant experiences such as an ice cream cone or receiving special attention.
