Bandura's social learning theory suggests that children learn through observation and imitation of others, including the media they consume. Therefore, his work on how media influences behavior is most relevant to the congressional hearing's discussion on whether violent TV shows are contributing to violence in schools. Tolman, Skinner, and Pavlov's work primarily focuses on behaviorism and learning through reinforcement and conditioning, which are not as directly applicable to this topic.
