    Answer: Bobo Doll Experiments

    Explanation:

    Albert Bandura carried out a set of experiments (known as Bobo doll experiments) that explored how new behaviors are learned.

    Bandura separated children into three groups of 24 children. The first group was exposed to aggressive behavior, the second group to non-aggressive behavior, and the third group was not exposed to any model of behavior at all.

    In the first group, Bandura presented children with a human adult model that acted aggressively towards a doll-like toy and observed their response to what they see. Children in the second group played in peace and ignored the Bobo doll.

    After having witnessed aggressive/non-aggressive behavior, children's behavior towards the toys was observed and evaluated. The results of the experiment revealed that children who were exposed to aggressive behavior were more aggressive while playing than those who were exposed to non-aggressive behavior. The children actually imitated what they have previously witnessed.
