why do some fields of psychology teach people things that are common sense?there is no need to perform some experiments.ofcourse children learn from observing adults.
Great point! It can definitely feel like some findings in psychology confirm what we already know intuitively. However, experiments like these are important because they provide scientific evidence to back up our observations. For example, while it seems obvious that children learn by observing adults, the Bobo Doll Experiment showed just how powerful and detailed this learning can be-kids not only mimic behavior but also the specific methods and words they see. Plus, these studies often lead to unexpected discoveries that challenge our assumptions and help us better understand human behavior. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
