One last scientific question remained: could these conditioned
emotional responses be removed through laboratory methods? Watson had
originally intended to end his experiment by "re-conditioning" the
infant to neutralize the fear response, but he ultimately opted to
drop that portion of the experiment due to a lack of time. When he
published the results of his study, however, he suggested that the
best re-conditioning method would have been to replace the
traumatizing metallic CLANG! with a positive stimulus such as A)
physical stimulation of "first the lips, then the nipples and as a
final resort the sex organs"; B) candy or food; or C) constructive
activities.
