Albert Bandura is the most cited living psychologist, and is
regularly named as one of the most influential figures ever to have
worked in his field. Much of his reputation stems from the theories
and experiments described in his 1973 study Aggression: A Social
Learning Analysis - a book that is both a classic of psychological
study and a masterclass in the analytical skills central to good
critical thinking. Bandura's central contention is that much human
learning is fundamentally social. As children imitate the behavior
of those around them, and as their behaviors are reinforced by
modelling, they entrench cognitive functions that more or less
become part of their core personalities. The experiments that
Bandura designed in order to prove his contentions with regard to
learned aggressive tendencies show the powers of critical thinking
analysis and evaluation at their best. Having set up a play
environment for children in which they could be exposed to
aggressive behavior (inflicted on a bobo doll), he was able to
systematically examine their responses and learned behaviors,
working out their functions and understanding the relationships
between different aspects of behavior that combined to form a
whole. Carefully evaluating at each stage the different extent to
which children's own aggressive behavior was affected by and
modelled on what they saw. Bandura produced results that
revolutionized psychology's whole approach to human learning and
behavior.
