Question 22 Bobo the clown was a psychological experiment that taught children how to immitate violence. True False

Ans. False

In 1961, the Canadian-American clinician, Albert Bandura (1925-) directed a questionable experiment inspecting the cycle by which new types of conduct - and specifically, aggression - are learned. The underlying review, alongside Bandura's subsequent research, would later be known as the Bobo doll experiment. The experiment uncovered that kids mirror the forceful conduct of grown-ups. The discoveries support Bandura's social learning theory, which underlines the impact of observational learning on conduct. 

Bandura likewise directed various subsequent investigations during the 1960s which analyzed how seeing an outsider being remunerated or rebuffed for acting in a specific way can impact a spectator's own behavior. He reasoned that vicarious support, just as immediate prizes and disciplines, can affect an eyewitness' conduct. 

Preceding Bandura's experiments, molding dominated the behaviorist perspective on learning. During the 1890s, the compelling Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov had discovered that canines would learn new conduct through old-style molding. At the point when a solitary upgrade was over and again matched with a specific occasion, like the ringing of a ringer with taking care of time, salivation would start to happen in light of the sound. Behaviorist B. F. Skinner further fostered Pavlov's theory and proposed operant molding, whereby fortifications lead to new types of conduct being learned. 

Bandura saw such molding as being reductionist in its comprehension of human learning as a basic course of procuring new 'reactions' to improvements. All things considered, he directed his concentration toward the imitative conduct of kids who watch, and afterward endeavor to duplicate, the conduct of others.
