Observational Learning
The process of learning by watching others and then imitating what they do
Model
Person who performs a behavior that serves as an examples (in observational learning)
Factors that will determine if learning will occur
1) Attention
You must focus on what the model is doing
There is neuron linked to paying attention
2) Retention
You must be able to remember what you have observed
3) You must be able to perform the behavior that you observed and committed to memory
For example you watch a gymnast but don’t have the atheltic ability to do so
4) Motivaton
You must want to copy this behavior
Attractive traits like popular, postive, likable
You want to come across the same way so you start doing what they’re doing

Social Cognitive Theory: Bandura
Bandara proposed reciprical determinism
Reciprical Determinism
Our behavior, cognitive process, and situational context all influlence each other
Cycle
Repeating process
BPD
I forgot his freaking example and the messages are gone now oh well
Self-Efficacy
Our level in confidence in our own abilities, developed trhough our social experiences
In observational learning, it is a cognitive factor that effects which behaviors we shoose to imiate out suvves in performing those behviors.
Self-efficacy is like confidence that is more situational-based and can vary depending on skill level in different asepcts. Confidence is more as a whole (I think pretty sure)
