The Little Albert Experiment was a controlled experiment showing empirical evidence of classical conditioning in humans. The study also provides an example of stimulus generalisation.

If a child can be taught to fear Santa Claus, then a child can be taught to fear a parent.

Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus studies memories. More precisely, she studies false memories, when people either remember things that didn't happen or remember them differently from the way they really were. It's more common than you might think, and Loftus shares some startling stories and statistics and raises some important ethical questions we should all remember to consider. 

Testimony: Dr. Jack P. Shonkoff

Dr.  Shonkoff testified about both the trauma that such a forcible  separation can cause, as well as the long-term effects of toxic stress  that continue to compound until separated children and their parents or   caregivers are reunited.

"From  a scientific perspective, the forcible separation of children from  their parents is like setting a house on fire. Prolonging that  separation is like preventing the first responders from doing their  job." - Jack P. Shonkoff, M.D.
