Study Notes
- Wolfgang Köhler studied how chimpanzees learned to obtain bananas out of reach using a box and their own problem-solving skills.
- In this experiment, a chimpanzee named Sultan was unable to reach a banana hanging from the ceiling, so he moved the box to climb and grab it.
- Köhler's findings showed that Sultan learned to use the box as a tool to reach the banana, demonstrating insight learning.
- Social cognitive learning theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of observing others and applying the observed behavior to one's own environment.
- Dolphins at Shark Bay, Australia, have been observed using sponges to protect their rostrums while foraging, a form of tool use.
- Capuchin monkeys have been seen using stones as hammers to crack open nuts in Brazil's Parnaiba Headwaters National Park.
- The Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children observe and imitate the behaviors of others, but not all children perform the learned behaviors.
- Girls in the Bobo doll experiment showed fewer aggressive behaviors after observing a model being punished for aggression, but more aggressive behaviors with a reward.
- The learning-performance distinction shows that learning may occur but may not always be immediately apparent in performance.
- Tolman's cognitive maps theory suggests that animals and humans create mental representations of their environments to aid in navigation and goal-directed behavior.
- Latent learning, a concept from Tolman's cognitive behaviorism, refers to learning that occurs without obvious reinforcement and is not demonstrated until different conditions are met.
