Kuo's experiment is of interest to psychologist because he demonstrates using the psychological science we can manipulate the behavior of any organism with a conscious mind. with Kuo's experiment, he was able to establish fear in a cat to a rat which is not the normal emotion for the cat to experience as rats are its prey rather than predator. I believe most psychologists agreed with Kuo because of the success of his experiment using a well known theory; Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning.

Can you expand on other possibilities on why psychologist might agree with Kuo? Try looking at nature vs nurture or learned vs innate behavior, environment etc.
