With a population of less than two million, two-thirds of which are young, The Gambia is devoted to promoting the rights and welfare of her children. As such, a number of organizations for children exist all over the country. One of the best things that ever happened to me was joining the Voice of the Young, a child-led

used to discuss the role of ecological validity will be based around social learning and aggression, behaviourism, and memory. Firstly the study of Bandura et al. will be considered, his experiments on children copying violent behaviours using the Bobo doll experiment. Then the Skinner box will be discussed, finally leading to the studies of Loftus and Palmer on the link between language and memory. The role and importance of ecological validity in each body of research will be discussed and evaluated

Dr. Bandura’s research was a true experiment since the study he conducted contained an experimental group and a control group. Both groups were randomly assigned, which is a defining factor for any true experiment, as well as having an independent and dependent variable. 3. Seventy-two children partook in the Bobo Doll Experiment
