Bandura

Well kiddo, Bandura is a smart man who studied how people learn things. He wanted to know how we pick up new actions and behaviors from the people around us.

Imagine you are watching your friend play a game. You've never played it before, but you see your friend doing certain things and getting points. You start to copy your friend's actions because you want points too. This is called observational learning.

Bandura noticed that we learn by observing and copying other people's behaviors. He called it Social Learning Theory. This theory explains how we learn by watching others and imitating their behavior.

Bandura also found that we can learn by experiencing things ourselves. If we do something and we get a reward for it, we're more likely to do it again. This is called operant conditioning. For example, if you eat your vegetables and your parents praise you for it, you're more likely to keep eating your vegetables.

Now, Bandura's theories are important because they help us understand how we learn and grow. By knowing this, we can help ourselves and others learn and develop better. So always be observant and learn good things from others, kiddo!
