Study Notes
Social-Cognitive Learning
Observational Learning
- Learning through observing and imitating others
- Can occur through live models, video, or verbal instructions
- Characteristics:
- Attention: observer must pay attention to the model
- Retention: observer must remember what they saw
- Reproduction: observer must be able to reproduce the behavior
- Motivation: observer must be motivated to perform the behavior
Social Modeling
- A type of observational learning where an individual learns new behaviors by observing and imitating a model
- Models can be:
- Live (e.g. parents, teachers)
- Symbolic (e.g. characters in a book or movie)
- Verbal (e.g. instructions or advice)
Bandura's Theory
- Albert Bandura's social learning theory proposes that learning is a result of observing and imitating others
- Key components:
- Observation: observing the behavior of others
- Imitation: imitating the behavior of others
- Reinforcement: reinforcement of the behavior through rewards or punishment
- Self-regulation: regulation of one's own behavior through self-monitoring and self-reward
Latent Learning
- Learning that occurs without conscious awareness or intention
- Can occur through exposure to environmental stimuli, even if the individual is not actively trying to learn
- Characteristics:
- Incidental: learning occurs without deliberate effort
- Unconscious: learning occurs without conscious awareness
- Delayed: learning may not be demonstrated until later, when the individual is motivated to perform the behavior
Observational Learning
- Occurs through observing and imitating others
- Can occur through live models, video, or verbal instructions
- Requires attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation
Social Modeling
- Type of observational learning where an individual learns new behaviors by observing and imitating a model
- Models can be live, symbolic, or verbal
Bandura's Theory
- Proposes that learning is a result of observing and imitating others
- Key components include observation, imitation, reinforcement, and self-regulation
Latent Learning
- Learning that occurs without conscious awareness or intention
- Occurs through exposure to environmental stimuli without deliberate effort
- Characteristics include incidental, unconscious, and delayed learning
Social-Cognitive Learning
Bandura's Theory
- Social-cognitive learning theory proposes that people learn new behaviors by observing and imitating others, emphasizing cognitive processes like attention, retention, and motivation in learning.
- Challenges traditional behaviorist views, which focus solely on environmental factors.
Social Modeling
- Social modeling is the process of learning by observing and imitating others' behaviors, which can be people or media representations.
- Observers learn by attending to, retaining, and reproducing the modeled behaviors.
Observational Learning
- Observational learning is the process of learning by observing others, without necessarily imitating their behaviors.
- Key factors influencing observational learning:
- Attention: Observers must pay attention to the model's behavior.
- Retention: Observers must remember the observed behavior.
- Motivation: Observers must be motivated to reproduce the behavior.
- Reproduction: Observers must be able to reproduce the behavior.
Latent Learning
- Latent learning refers to the learning of information or skills that are not immediately demonstrated or expressed.
- Observers may learn new information or skills without showing any immediate change in behavior.
- Latent learning can be triggered by later cues or incentives, leading to the demonstration of previously learned behaviors.
- Example: A person may learn how to ride a bike by observing others, but not actually ride a bike until later, when they have access to a bike.
