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
