Observational Learning Basics

Observational learning refers to the process of learning behaviors by watching others perform those behaviors. One of the most well-known studies on observational learning was conducted by psychologist Albert Bandura, who famously illustrated this concept with his Bobo doll experiment. In this study, children observed an adult behaving aggressively towards a Bobo doll. Later, when these children were given the opportunity to play with the same doll, many of them imitated the aggressive actions they had witnessed.
