This article talks about how psychology has to do why someone might be scared or has a phobia against something they don't know why they are when they're older. This man had seen that this baby was scared of a white dog so he used other white furry things to scare this baby. He used this white rat to scare the baby since it was really young in some way as in the baby hurting itself from being scared of the rat. Now later it came to be that he was also scared of other white furry things like a dog or some cotton. He was going to heal his fear by "re-conditioning" but he never did to the lack of time. So the poor baby stayed with his phobia and not knowing why of it.
