nts to support his work. He used gulls to prove his theories of super normal sign stimuli. He used chicks to prove his theories of imprinting. After his experiments, Lorenz’s hypotheses were proven to be correct. I feel that Lorenz’s experiments were a huge step in determining where human violence and anger originate. Some people tend to disagree, saying that experiments on animals cannot be correlated to human behavior. However, I believe that if humans had been used in Lorenz’s experiments, they would act the same as the animals did. In the experiment with the gulls, Lorenz placed a large, fake gull egg next to a real gull egg to see which egg would be attractive to the gulls. The gulls ended up being attracted to the bigger egg. I believe human beings would act the same way. During childhood, children want to open the bigger present. People of bigger stature are held in higher esteem in many people's eyes and are more successful overall. There is an obsession with bigger -just like animals, humans too are instinctual. The social learning theory of Bandura attempts to emphasize the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes and emotional reactions of others. Bandura feels that most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling. From observing others, he formed an idea of how new behaviors are performed. On later occasions, the coded information serves as a guide for actions. Bandura developed the Social learning theory. This attempts to explain human behavior in terms of continuous interaction between behavioral and environmental influences. Bandura believes that individuals are more likely to adopt a modeled behavior if it results in outcomes they value. I do not disagree with this idea, but I feel that Freud and Lorenz are more accurate with their hypotheses. People do learn behavior by observation, however, in my opi...
