Albert Bandura Bobo Doll experiment

This can't really simulate how children would act in a real life situation. They were placed in the same environment moments later --how often does that happen in life?

No matter what it is, one thing remains:
Poor Bobo.

appears as if Gender was of no consequence...

My teacher told us to go check this out a while ago and I was just working on the review for this chapter and figured i'd go check it out. With minimal conditioning, these kids created new ways to beat up the doll. Course, does bring the thought to mind of what are the odds at least one of the kids is in prison for beating up someone with a mallet. They seemed to favor that one.

I think its excellent we have the chance to see actual footage of this study and hear Bandura's voice, the Bandura, Ross and Ross study here is observational learning, it almost blew the theory of operant conditioning out the water, after all monkey see monkey do, conditioning is not required for learning and its proved here.

This study was done on 72 children between ages 3 & 6 and they were split into 3 groups two aggressive adults and one passive (did nothing). the children who saw violence towards the doll imitated the violence themselves this is called Operant Conditioning.

no its not. no conditioning. observational learning.

@AutumnalRebirth What do you know I have a PHD in Psychology!

You are correct it is observational learning. This experiment is in the section dedicated to Obeservational Learning.
