Bandura
and richard walters showed videos to the children where the adult behaved aggressively towards the
bobo doll
One group Saw the adult
praised
for the behaviour whilst the second group was
punished
The
third
group (control group) saw
aggression
without consequences
The children were given their own doll and the first group acted most
aggressively
and the second was
least
aggressive
According to SLT behaviour is learnt through
observing
and
modelling
A
model
is someone we admire and whose
behaviour
we imitate
Models may be
live
or
symbolic
Adding a
consequence
can encourage or discourage behaviour, however learnt
knowledge
is still there
