Behaviorism Flashcards
It is a theory of learning based on the
idea that all behaviors are acquired through
conditioning, and conditioning occurs through
interaction with the environment.
Behaviorism
also says that only observable behavior should be studied, as cognition, emotions, and mood are far too subjective.
Behavioral theory
states that
observable behavior should be studied
scientifically, and that mental states and cognitive processes don’t add to the understanding of behavior.
Methodological Behaviorism
rooted in the theory that behavior can be understood by looking at one’s past and present environment and the reinforcements within it, thereby influencing behavior either positively or negatively.
Radical Behaviorism
emphasizes the importance of
observing, modelling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others.
Social Learning Theory
What are the 2 theories added by Albert Bandura?
•Mediating processes occur between stimuli &
responses.
• Behavior is learned from the environment
through the process of observational learning.
observe the people around them behaving in various ways
Observational Learning
Individuals that are observed are called ______.
Models
What are the 3 processes of observational learning?
•First, the child is more likely to attend to and
imitate those people it perceives as similar to itself.
• Second, the people around the child will respond to
the behavior it imitates with either reinforcement
or punishment.
• Third, the child will also take into account of what
happens to other people when deciding whether or
not to copy someone’s actions.
can be external or internal and
can be positive or negative.
Reinforcement
occurs with another person (the
model) and involves taking on (or adopting) observed behaviors, values, beliefs and attitudes of the person with whom you are identifying.
Identification
The individual needs to pay attention to the behavior and its consequences and form a mental representation of the behavior. For a behavior to be imitated, it has to grab our attention.
Attention
How well the behavior is remembered. The behavior may be noticed, but is it’s not always remembered, which obviously prevents imitation.
Retention
This is the ability to perform the behavior that the model has just
demonstrated. We see much behavior on a daily basis that we would like to be able to imitate but that this not always possible.
Reproduction
The will to perform the behavior.
The rewards and punishment that follow abehavior will be considered by the observer.
Motivation
It is a model that involves changing the way
students would traditionally learn.
The flipped classroom model
help teachers turn their
classroom into a more interactive experience.
Gamification and Simulations
It is a great way to help students learn from
each other. Students connected to each other can observe
and learn, helping each other along the way.
Peer coaching
What are the advantages of SLT?
• Natural Way to Learn
• Better skills
• Higher Learning Retention
• Lower costs
• Better informed
• Collaboration
• Problem Solving in Real Time
What are the disadvantages of SLT?
•Inner conflicts
• Less authenticity
• Loss of innovation
• Unexpected obstacles
• Self-doubt
It provides a more comprehensive explanation of human learning by recognizing the role of mediational processes.
Social Learning Theory
In this theory,teachers should always remember that they can focus on reinforcement to shape behavior,model appropriate behavior, and build slef-efficacy as past of their classroom model.
