Albert Bandura was a Canadian-American psychologist who developed social learning theory, later called social cognitive theory. He conducted famous Bobo doll experiments in the 1960s which demonstrated that children can learn aggressive behaviors through observation. Bandura's social cognitive theory posits that learning occurs in a social context through observation and modeling of others, and is influenced by internal personal factors like attention and motivation.
