Observational Learning Flashcards
Explain the model: O(Mb - S+-)
O = observer M = Model - b = behaviour - Mb = Model's behavour S = Consequenses
Social observational learning
Observing someone else (a model) perform a behaviour and the consequences of this behaviour
Vicariously reinforced
Want to strengthen a behaviour in the observer
Vicariously punished
Want to decrease a behaviour in the observer
Asocial observational learning
Learning from observed events, with no model to perform the behaviour.
Explain the model: O(E - S+-)
O = observer E = Event S = Consequenses
Ghost condition
When the observer cannot see how something happened - only that it did.
What are the two types of observational learning?
Social observational learning
Antisocial observational learning
Over-imitation
Imitating irrelevant behaviour
Generalized imitation
The tendency to imitate modelled behaviour even though the imitative behaviour is not reinforced
An unskilled model is also called a ______
Learning model
Model characteristics are important because they can induce the observer to:
Look at the model
Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory
The cognitive processes - inside the person - that account from learning from models
Name four processes of Bandura’s SCT
Attentional processes
Retentional processes
Motor-reproductive processes
Motivational processes
According to Bandura’s theory we imitate successful models because we ____________ rewarding consequences
Expect
Operant learning model
Any procedure or experience in which a behaviour becomes stronger or weaker, depending on its consequences
Bandura vs Skinner
Bandura is internal and thinking processes
Skinner is what can be observed by others
Edutainment
Materials (books, video, radio etc.) that attempt to educate and entertain the public simultaneously
