SOCIAL LEARNING EXP OF AGG Flashcards
what is social learning theory?
explain behaviour, includes both direct and indirect reinforcement
what four things do we need to remember in social learning exp for aggression?
direct and indirect learning
observational learning and vicarious reinforcement
cognitive control
self efficacy
what is direct and indirect learning?
aggression is learned directly through operant conditioning
what happens during observational learning?
positive or negative reinforcement
if we learn aggression through direct observation, we are…
more likely to repeat actions
what did Bandura argue about indirect learning?
accounts for the social learning of aggressive behaviours
what is observational learning?
when we learn specific behaviours through aggressive model
what do we observe during learning?
behaviour and it’s consequences
what is vicarious reinforcement?
when we learn about the consequences of actions and how theyare effective in achieving our goal
what is vicarious punishment?
when aggression is punished, makes us less likely to imitate behaviour
what are the four cognitive conditions needed for observational learning to take place?
attention
retention
reproduction
motivation
what is attention?
recognising certain behaviours
what is retention?
how well we remember the behaviour
what is motor reproduction?
if we can physically do the action
what is motivation?
if we have the will to actually perform the action
