Bandura's observational learning theory (theories of learning movement skills)

Question 1

What are the 5 things in Bandura’s observational learning theory

Answer 1

Demonstration
Attention
Retention
Motor reproduction 
Motivation

Question 2

What is demonstration (Bandura’s observational learning theory)
Factors for successful modelling

Answer 2

Watching demonstration
Factors for successful modelling- Influence of demo being accurate.
Eg. Correct demonstration is better then Incorrect demo that could could lead to injury

Question 3

What is attention (Bandura’s observational learning theory)

Factors for successful modelling

Answer 3

Performer concentrates on aspects of demonstration.
Factors for successful modelling- Highlighting key aspects of demonstration.
Eg. coach tells the performer to focus on the wrist when learning a badminton smash.

Question 4

What is retention (Bandura’s observational learning theory)

Factors for successful modelling

Answer 4

Observer needs to remember the demo
Factors for successful modelling- Use of repetition.
Eg. Repeating to the performer they must focus on the wrist during a badminton smash.

Question 5

What is motor reproduction (Bandura’s observational learning theory)
Factors for successful modelling

Answer 5

Observer must be capable of performing skill
Factors for successful modelling- Use of effective feedback.
Eg. Coach tells the performer they are keeping their wrist to firm.

Question 6

What is motivation (Bandura’s observational learning theory)

Factors for successful modelling

Answer 6

Observer must want to learn to copy model
Factors for successful modelling- Use of positive reinforcement.
Eg. Coach gives the performer a reward.
