Albert Bandura Bobo Doll experiment
By Laine Pitters and Maranda Towes
Learning Theory
Key Ideas
The study of how people learn
Early experiences have greater impact than later ones
Positive upbringing results in a positive individual whereas a negative upbringing results in a negative individual
Learning is mostly just imitation
Pavlov vs Bandura
Pavlov theorized that learning was only a stimulus-response
Experimented with animalsrsquo learning abilities to support his theory
Bandura theorized that learning is more complicated
Studied a ldquofollow-the-leaderrdquo tendency in children
Bandurarsquos Famous
Experiment
Showed young children film portraying violence or kindness towards a clown doll
Later observed the children when the doll was placed in front of them
Results resembled what they were shown
ldquoCleverrdquo Hans
German school teacher named Willhelm von Osten believed he could teach a horse the same way he taught children
He used the same tools used during the time by German schools such as repetition flash cards etc
The experiment was conducted over a 4 year time period his horse ldquoCleverrdquo Hans could answer almost any question in school subjects
By the end of the 4 years Hans could answer any question correctly spanning from geography to math
His Faults
Two sceptical psychologists wanted to disprove his theory by eliminating possible factors that interfered with the results
Upon observation they learned that von Osten was hinting at the correct or incorrect response while asking the questions
The horse needed to be able to see the cues in order to answer the questions
This proved that this was a stimulus response as apposed to true learning
Applications in Society
In schools we start with the basics of learning and gradually build off of them as age increases
The elders are expected to set a good example for those younger than them
Humans by nature are dependant learners
Weaknesses and Criticisms
People who act non-accordingly to their upbringing or environment
Theorists try to summarize it but because it is such a vast field they are often criticized
Psychologists argue on the complexity of learning itself
