Albert was a little boy who was shown to be remarkably resistant to having his emotional responses conditioned by Watson. Watson presented Albert with a cute little furry rat and then rang a loud bell. Later, Albert should have become scared of the bell, but this never happened.

The scenario described in the question is actually the opposite of what really happened. Albert did develop a fear of the rat after it was repeatedly associated with the loud bell, showing that his emotional responses could be conditioned. This famous experiment is known as "Little Albert."
