Albert Bandura, born December 4, 1925, in Mundare, Alberta Canada, is a psychologist most famous for his work on social learning theory and is particularly noted for the Bobo doll experiment. Social learning theory, now called social cognitive theory, is considered the most comprehensive and accepted modeling theory by the Archives of the History of American Psychology. Bandura's early school years were spent in a small, understaffed school in which students had to take a great deal of responsibility for their own learning. This style of learning helped to foster his desire for inquiry, which he has maintained throughout his career. Bandura has spent much of his career at Stanford University and was elected as the president of the American Psychological Association in 1974.
