Abstract
In 1917, Watson and Morgan theorized that Pavlov’s (1927) conditioning paradigm could account for much emotional behavior in humans. In subsequent studies Watson and Rayner (1920) and Jones (1924) supported the classical conditioning interpretation of human fear behavior. These efforts provided the first conceptual foundation for that part of behavior therapy concerned with anxiety and the neuroses (e.g., Wolpe, 1958). Hence the Pavlovian model of conditioned emotionality became part of the early behavioral orthodoxy.
