    Study Notes

    Social Learning Theory

    • Emphasizes learning through observation of others, highlighting the role of social influence in behavior acquisition.

    Social Cognitive Theory

    • Examines processes involved in learning from observation, focusing on behavior control over time.

    Learning

    • Defined as a change in mental structures, enabling individuals to demonstrate new behaviors.

    Modeling

    • Individuals imitate behaviors observed in others, often influenced by popular figures (e.g., sports icons).

    Cognitive Modeling

    • Teachers intentionally demonstrate strategies they wish students to adopt, facilitating effective learning.

    Vicarious Learning

    • Involves adjusting one’s behavior based on the outcomes of others’ actions observed by an individual.

    Vicarious Reinforcement

    • Observing another person being rewarded for a behavior increases the likelihood of imitating that behavior.

    Inhibition

    • Refers to an individual’s self-imposed restriction on certain behaviors.

    Ripple Effect

    • Describes the "contagious" spread of behaviors within a social group through imitation.

    Self-Regulation

    • Involves applying behavioral learning principles to regulate and modify one's own behaviors.

    Cognitive Behavior Modification

    • Focuses on altering overt behaviors by manipulating underlying thought processes, such as enhancing reading skills via metacognitive strategies.

    Self-Efficacy

    • Represents an individual's belief in their ability to effectively handle specific tasks.

    Self-Modeling

    • Results in behavior changes through the observation and reflection of one’s own actions, such as reviewing recorded performances.

    Self-Instruction

    • Involves guiding oneself through task steps via internal dialogue to enhance performance.
