19
Q

Consequence

A

The outcome of a behavior that can influence its future occurrence.

20
Q

Reinforcement

A

A consequence that strengthens a behavior, making it more likely to be repeated.

21
Q

Positive Reinforcement

A

Reinforcement that involves adding a desirable stimulus after a behavior, increasing its likelihood.

22
Q

Negative Reinforcement

A

Reinforcement that involves removing an undesirable stimulus after a behavior, increasing its likelihood.

23
Q

Punishment

A

A consequence that weakens a behavior, making it less likely to be repeated.

24
Q

Positive Punishment

A

Punishment that involves adding an undesirable stimulus after a behavior, decreasing its likelihood.

25
Negative Punishment
Punishment that involves removing a desirable stimulus after a behavior, decreasing its likelihood.
26
Learner
The individual who observes, remembers, and imitates the actions of a model.
27
Model
The person (live, recorded, or symbolic) whose behavior is being observed.
28
Observational Learning
A type of social learning where a learner observes a model's actions and consequences to guide their own behavior.
29
Social-Cognitive Approach
An approach to learning that emphasizes how people process, remember, and learn information in social settings.
30
Attention
The first stage of observational learning, where the learner focuses on the model's behavior and its outcomes.
31
Retention
The second stage of observational learning, where the learner stores a mental representation of the model's behavior.
32
Reproduction
The third stage of observational learning, where the learner physically or mentally performs the model's behavior.
33
Motivation
The desire of the learner to perform the model's behavior.
34
Reinforcement
In observational learning, receiving a reward or positive outcome that increases the likelihood of the learner imitating the behavior.
35
Indigenous
Refers to the original or first inhabitants of a particular geographic location.
36
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
The Indigenous population of Australia.
37
Community
A group of people living in the same place or sharing a common interest who interact with each other.
38
Ways of Knowing
Methods through which knowledge is acquired and understood.
39
First Nations
Another term for Indigenous Australians.
40
Connection to Country
A fundamental concept in Indigenous knowledge systems, emphasizing the deep respect and interconnectedness with the land.
41
Narrative
A story that can be told in various ways, including performance, song, and dance.
42
Yarn
An Indigenous system of learning that involves sharing stories and knowledge.
43
Learning Map
Visual representations used to illustrate processes for learners.
44
Kinaesthetic
Relating to body movement and sensation.
45
Place-Based Learning
A learning approach that emphasizes connections to a specific location and its history.
