d. Skinner

Answer 1

Answer:

Bandura.

Explanation:

Albert Bandura is a canadian psychologist who is mostly known for the social-learning theory. This theory states that learning takes place by observing and imitating other people who are around us.

According to this theory, the specific term used for this process of learning through observation of another person (which is called a model) is called modeling. In other words, we learn by watching behaviors from other people.

In this example, the representatives are discussing whether the portrayals of violence on children's TV shows are contributing to the violence in schools. We can use Bandura's work who would say that children learned through observation of models and therefore could take this violent models from tv and act this way and this could contribute to the violence in schools. Thus, the work of Bandura is more relevant to their discussions.
