Abstract Albert Bandura is one of the most influential psychologists in the 20th century. The BoBo doll experiment is a landmark experiment constructed by Bandura’s theory. Four studies on the “Bandura’s experiment” had reported not only reveals the process of Bandura’s gradual focus from specific themes to overall theoretical construction, but the research results also revealed some “invisible things”. Therefore, careful and in-depth analysis of the “BoBo doll experiment” will not only help us gain a deeper understanding of the evolution and construction process of social learning theory, but also enable us to better understand how it promotes psychology from behaviorism to transform of cognitivism. Finally, the “BoBo doll experiment” as an experimental paradigm and a symbolic had signed that psychology research affects social reality has extremely important historical significance in the history of psychology.
