The bobo doll experiment is an experiment created by Albert Bandura. The parent of the child is taken to a room that has objects placed in the room, including the bobo doll. The parent purposely beats up the bobo doll knowing that the child is watching. Then the child is taken to the same room and portrays the same behavior by beating up the bobo doll just as their parents did. By having the children watch their parents, they learned to anticipate a behaviors consequences in situations like those we are observing. Children especially immitate people who percieve as similiar to them, as successful, and as admirable.
For example when getting into an argument with your parents they may use words or comebacks like "because i said so" or "because i know better". Having a child as be aware or hearing these comebacks will most likey use the same comebacks or words on their parents. In this example the children are immitating their parents behavior.
