John Watson's experiments are considered controversial because D. They would be considered unethical today. 

The Little Albert experiment exposed children, usually infants, first to things like rabbits, puppies, and hairballs. The children did not show fear of the items. However, once they were exposed to sudden loud sounds, rats, and stressful controlled situations. The goal of this experiment was to "condition phobia into a mentally stable child". However, these experiments are also failed in modern scientific testing. However, that doesn't make the Little Albert experiment as controversial as the unethical aspect does.
