Little Albert, the child who was the subject of a famous psychological experiment by John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner in the early 1900s, is often discussed in the context of his conditioning experiments rather than his later life or death. In fact, details about Little Albert’s later life remain largely unclear.
There are various theories and some speculation regarding what happened to Albert after the experiment. Some researchers believe he may have died of a condition such as hydrocephalus or related health issues. Others suggest that he may have actually been raised in a difficult environment that could have negatively impacted his health.
Unfortunately, there is no definitive record of his death or the circumstances surrounding it. The anonymity surrounding his later life leaves us with many unanswered questions about Albert and the implications of the experiment conducted on him.
