In one of our last sessions, Peter showed no fear although another child was present who showed marked disturbance at sight of the rabbit.
More Quotes from Mary C. Jones:
Through the presence of the pleasant stimulus (food) whenever the rabbit was shown, the fear was eliminated gradually in favor of a positive response.Mary C. Jones
Peter's fear of the animals which were shown him was probably not a directly conditioned fear.
Mary C. Jones
Peter was 2 years and 10 months old when we began to study him. He was afraid of a white rat, and this fear extended to a rabbit, a fur coat, a feather, cotton wool, etc., but not to wooden blocks and similar toys.
Mary C. Jones

Mary C. Jones
From the test situations which were used to reveal fears, it was found that Peter showed even more marked fear responses to the rabbit than to the rat.
