Albert Bandura found that children would often imitate actions from a video in which an adult punched and kicked a large, inflatable doll.Based on what is known about learning, you should conclude that these children learned their aggressive actions through the process known as:
A)observational learning
B)latent learning
C)classical conditioning
D)operant conditioning

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described in the question is an example of observational learning, which is the process of learning by observing others' behavior and outcomes. Children observed the adult's aggressive actions towards an inflatable doll and imitated the same behavior. Latent learning is learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement and is not applicable in this scenario. Classical conditioning involves learning through the association of stimuli and is not applicable in this scenario. Operant conditioning involves learning through the consequences of behavior and is not directly applicable in this scenario.
