His findings found that when

outcome of them performing that behaviour. If opportunities for aggressive behaviour arise in the future, the child may display that behaviour provided the expectation of reward is greater than the expectation of punishment. SLT is supported by Bandura et al., who found that children who observed a model behaving aggressively towards a Bobo doll were more likely to reproduce the same behaviours when they were later allowed to interact with the doll; the children even improvised their own aggressive

After observing Charlotte, Lyons found that humans are hard-wired to learn by imitation, even when it is clearly not the best way to learn (Zimmer, 2005). According to Bandura, “people” learn new information and behaviors by watching people (DVD, 2011) which is exactly what Charlotte did. For the experiment that the psychologists did with the chimps, they first used a box that was black and had a door on one side and a
