Albert Bandura Differences

Differences between learning and performing[edit]
Albert Bandura followed up his 1961 study a few years later with another that again tested differences in children's learning/behavior or actual performance after seeing a model being rewarded, punished, or experiencing no consequences for aggressive behavior towards a Bobo doll (here and following, Bandura, Ross & Ross 1963) .

The procedure of the experiment was very similar to the one conducted in 1961. Children between the ages of 2.5 to 6 years watched a film of a mediated model punching and screaming aggressively at a Bobo doll. Depending on the experimental group, the film ended with a scene in which the model was rewarded with candies or punished with the warning, "Don't do it again". In the neutral condition the film ended right after the aggression scene toward the Bobo doll. Regardless of the experimental group the child was in, after watching the film the child stayed in a room with many toys and a Bobo doll. The experimenter found that the children often showed less similar behavior toward the model when they were shown the clip that ended with the punishment scene as compared to the other conditions. Also, boys showed more imitative aggression than girls toward the Bobo doll. That is the measure of the performance and it supports the results of the experiments in 1961. …show more content…

The experimenter did not find differences in the children's demonstrated behavior based on which of the three films the child watched. The results of the experiment shows that rewards or punishment don't influence learning or remembering information, they just influence if the behavior is performed or not. The differences between girls and boys imitating behavior got smaller (Bandura

    Gopnik’s article also talks heavily about children experiments that include them learning things without any clear instruction. When children are given no clear instruction, they often use trial and error to figure things out. Children are able to use their cognitive processes to see what is beneficial to them. Not only children but adults also use this approach to learn new things. Gopnik wrote, “Simple trial and error, trying different actions until one succeeds, is actually often a very effective way of getting along in the world.

    For this paper, I chose to write about the Little Albert experiment The overall importance of this study was to discover if a human could be conditioned to develop a bias, fear, or generalized fear of an animal, object, or person based the stimuli placed around the involved person, animal or object. Watson & Rayner (1920) suggested that “in infancy the original emotional reaction patterns are few, consisting so far as observed of fear, rage and love, then there must be some simple method by means of which the range of stimuli which can call out these emotions and their compounds is greatly increased.” This means that before any conditioning occurs, the subject should have a pure response, but after minor and simple experimentation and conditioning,

    This essay will discuss the role of ecological validity in psychological research, drawing on material from the DE100 textbook ‘Investigating Psychology’. It will begin by giving a description of what ecological validity is, and consider it in relation to different examples of research. The research used to discuss the role of ecological validity will be based around social learning and aggression, behaviourism, and memory. Firstly the study of Bandura et al. will be considered, his experiments on children copying violent behaviours using the Bobo doll experiment.

    Albert Bandura was a Canadian-born American psychologist who is best known for his study, “The Bobo Doll” experiment. His studies were based of his social cognitive theories, highlighting in this experiment, aggressive behavior. Albert presented an inflatable doll to preschool aged children and verbally abused it in front of them. Albert would then monitor the children and see them respond in the same way. He exhibited the fact, in his study, that children are able to imitate adult behavior through observation.

    John B. Watson and his assistant Rosalie Rayner conducted an experiment called the “Little Albert” experiment. It was a psychology experiment performed to demonstrate the effects of behavioral conditioning in humans. John was influence by the studies of Ivan Pavlov, where he used conditioning process in dogs. John want to prove that taking Pavlov’s research a step further could show how emotional reactions could be classically conditioned in humans. John used an 9 month old boy to be the subject of the little Albert experiment.

    Nevertheless, Skinner points out that children learn nothing from the punishment. Instead, they may start to work out how to avoid it (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Another concept is classical conditioning (classical behaviorism) that emphasizes on the relation between stimuli and response. This concept embodies in a famous experiment, in which the food is presented to the dog when the bell rings, and the bell becomes a conditioned stimulus for the dog (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Likewise, if children receive toys in the condition that they behave well, then they will probably repeat this behavior to get the toys.

  • Why Do Childre Children Should Not Be Exposed To Violence

    There are several theories that show the thinking of children. Social learning theory explains the aggressive attitude of someone who learned through the research of others who have an odd attitude. Through this theory introduced by Albert Bandura, 1973, states that children who observe adults commit violent acts will be easily swayed by such acts than those children who have no experience of exposure watch violent action. The study also explains how Social learning theory emphasizing aggressiveness as something that can be learned or trained through the observation of the behavior of other individuals who have an odd attitude. For example a football fan who sees others to act violently, either through television or while watching a football game will mimic the treatment.

    Bandura does not put forth stages or time limits on development. He believes that observational learning (imitation, modeling) is key to understanding our development. A young child may observe his parent kindly talking to someone or violently yelling at someone and this will shape how the child conducts his own life. Bandura’s model of learning and development includes 3 elements: behavior, the person/cognition, and the environment. Bandura believes that these three work reciprocally, interactively, not one-way.

    In the 1900’s there were a lot of behaviorist experimenting in different things, in things they thought could work out. Some of this behaviorists were John B. Watson, Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, and Albert Bandura. They were really great behaviorists, just one of them is still alive and it is Bandura. They really loved psychology and worked really hard to become the best ones in what they did. Between the experiment made by Watson named “Little Emotional Albert” and the one made by Pavlov named “It’s not just about salivating dogs!”, they both express in their different ways how behavior, environment, and conditioned stimulus are present in everyone lives, could be animals or could be humans, no matter who it is.

    Next, response feedback influences will also impact the occurrence of such behavior in the future. Lastly, it stressed that cognitive functions are important as well. To prove that same behaviors will be learned by individuals following the action of the models and altering their own behaviors, Albert Bandura conducted a famous experiment, known as the Bobo doll experiment in 1961 (McLeod, 2014). Before the experiment, Albert Bandura made 4 predictions. First, children that observed adult acting aggressively will be more likely to act the same.
