Bobo the Clown - Crash Course Psychology


Bobo doll experiment, groundbreaking study on aggression led by psychologist Albert Bandura that demonstrated that children are able to learn through the observation of adult behaviour. The experiment was executed via a team of researchers who physically and verbally abused an inflatable doll in front of preschool-age children, which led the children to later mimic the behaviour of the adults by attacking the doll in the same fashion.

George Bernard Shaw — 'Imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery - it's the sincerest form of learning.'
