Bobo was an inflatable doll used in Bandura's study on observational learning. Children watched a video of an adult being aggressive towards the doll, and then were given the opportunity to interact with the doll themselves. The study showed that children who saw the adult being aggressive were more likely to imitate that behavior when given the opportunity to play with the doll.
