The topics for \u201cIt\u2019s Gonna Be May\u201d keep on a-comin\u2019 with Jackie\u2019s award-winning work in observational learning research. Sure, we discuss some other articles about how important learning just by watching other people can be, but Jackie spends most of the episode thrilling us with tales of gluing toy boulders into trucks and the Cookie Man. Research sure sounds hard.
