social learning theory ao1 Flashcards
who proposed social learning theory
bandura
describe slt
ppl learn through observation and imitation
in slt what 3 ways do learning occur
role models
vicarious reinforcemtn
mediational processes
vic rein
not directly expirenced
behaviour learnt through observation and imitation only if behaviour rewarded
behaviour imitated anticipating reward
identification
not everyones behvaiour is imitated
more likely to imitate beh of sm1 you identify w
ppl have desired characteristcs eg wealth
or ppl who are similar 2 them eg same gender
role model
have sim characteristics
sex age
high status attractive charismatic
they dont have to be present for behaviour to be imitated
4 mediational processes
attention
retention
motor reproduction
motivation
do all 4 mediational processes neeed to take place in order for learninfg anf imitation to occur
yes
diff in learning bet beh and slt
beh -says if beh learnt then it will be rep - ppl have no choice
slt- says ppl do hav a choice whereby learnt beh rep if phsycially able ( motor rep) and if they want to (motivation)
bobo doll study - what year and who
bandura et al 1971
what happend in bobodoll
rec behaviour of young children who watched adult behave either aggressivley or not aggressively toward bobo doll
3 groups in bobo doll
group 1) 12 boys and 12 girls model was aggressive hitting doll w hammer
group 2) same n.o of ppt model not aggressive
group 3: no model - control group
what did group w no model show
that model did have an effect on childrens behaviour
how did children in g1 act
childeen who saw aggression exhibted same aggression
how did ch in g2 act
saw no aggression so less likely to imitate
diff bet beh in b and g boob doll study
boys had more physcial aggressioj
boys and girls had same level of verbal aggression
what can we conclude from bobo doll
beh learnt from observation and imitation
when did repeat of bobo doll happen and who did it
1963 - bandura and Walters
bobo doll rep groups
g1 - model praised
g2 - model punished
g3 - no consequence
res from bobo doll rep
g1 most aggressive then g2 then g3
describe attention
to what extent do you notice beh
describe retention
how well do you remember beh
describe motor reproduction
how do you reproduce beh/ are you physically able
describe motivation
do you have the will do acc do the observed beh
what is motivation determined by in mediational processes
if beh is punished or not
if punished = decreases likelyhood
