Albert Bandura's document discusses social learning theory, which posits that individuals learn through observation, imitation, and modeling. It outlines three models of observational learning and details the learning process involving attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. The famous Bobo doll experiment illustrates how children's behavior is influenced by observed actions, demonstrating the effects of violent and passive modeling.

5. Bobo Doll Experiment
• One of the most famous experiments performed by Bandura is the
famous bobo doll experiment.
