     • Aggressive
       • 24 Children
         • Aggressive To Bobo Doll
       • Non-Aggressive

   • Findings
     • Aggressive
       • 1/3 Imitated
       • Non-Aggressive
         • No Aggression Imitated

2. 1965

   • Procedure
     • Videos of Angy Adult
       • Model Reward Condition (MRC)
         • Adult Praised
       • Model Punished Condition (MPC)
         • Adult Told Off
       • Control
         • No Consequence
   • Findings
     • MRC = More Aggression
       • Control Group 2nd Place
         • Punished 3rd Place

3. Learning Occurs in SOCIAL CONTEXT

   • Observation/Imitation of Others

4. Vicarious Reinforcement - Indirect Learning via observation of others, and rewards recevied for the behaviour

5. Modelling

   • Observe Models!
     • Imitate Models!

6. Identification

   • Individuals Adopt behaviour to be assoicated

7. Imitation

   • Copying Observed Behaviour

8. MEDIATIONAL PROCESSES

   • Attention -
     • Focus/Notice Behaviour
   • Retention
     • Remembering Behaviour - Store x Recall
   • Reproduction
     • Ability to Recall x Perform
   • Motivation
     • The WILL to enact - Behaviour is rewarded/punished

9. STRENGTHS

   • P: Positive Applications
     • E1: Appropriate watershed for Video Games
       • E2: Gender Development/Phobia Acquisition
         • L: Understand/Regulate Range of Behaviours for the better of society
         • (Education?)
   • P: Bandura = Reliable
     • E1: Highly controlled lab experiments
       • E2:: Similar Emotional State
         • L: Easy To Replicate - Cause and Effect!

10. WEAKNESSES

    • P: Lacks Validity
      • E1: Artifical Lab Studies = Demand Characteristics
        • E2: Supposed to act aggro to doll but not IRL
          • L: Validity issues lowers credibility
            • CP: Demand Characteristics are unlikely as toddlers are significantly less cognitively developed than adults and teenagers
    • P: Lacks Generalisability
      • E1: Only consisted of toddlers
        • E2: Can't generalise to teens/adults
          • E3: Only USA Children from one nursery
            • L: May not generalise across cultures away from US, or to ages above 5
              • CP: However, there is still good generalisability across genders
