MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, and I am a psychiatry trainee in the UK. I created MRCPsych on the Go to make revision for the MRCPsych exams easier to fit around busy clinical work.
This podcast is designed for psychiatry trainees preparing for Paper A, B, CASC but also, medical students. Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics and explains them in clear, structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.
Topics range from psychopathology, psychopharmacology, neuroscience, sociology, behavioral science, psychological therapies to clinical assessment. Episodes include exam style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall and exam preparation.
The aim is to provide focused, high yield psychiatry revision you can listen to during commutes, walks or between shifts.

MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
5. Social Learning Theory Explained: Bandura, Modelling and the Bobo Doll Experiment
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Children learn by watching. So do adults. And Albert Bandura's famous Bobo doll experiment proved it in a way that changed psychology forever.
In this episode, we explore how behaviours are learned through observation and imitation. We cover positive and negative punishment, modelling and Bandura's social learning theory, explaining how watching others shapes what we do. These principles help explain why children exposed to aggression may reproduce it, and why role modelling is such a powerful tool in both education and clinical practice.
Ideal for MRCPsych Part A revision, psychology students and anyone interested in how social behaviour is learned and transmitted. Aligned with the Royal College of Psychiatrists MRCPsych Part A syllabus, paragraph 1.1.1.
