What’s an example of Observational learning
Doing a demonstration of the skill so the performer can copy
What is the impact of learning on operant conditioning
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT- Keep doing that behaviour
NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT- Stops them doing that behaviour
What’s the impact of learning on Observational learning
Performers can watch skill in chunks so it’s easier to recall and perform
What are the advantages of observational learning
Can use rewards as positive feedback.
Break down the demonstration into chunks
What are the disadvantages of observational learning
Must be accurate.
Must be relevant to skill level of performer watching
What’s the social development theory
