ALBERT BANDURA SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY  01. Observational and Enactive Learning TOPICS FOR 02. Triadic Reciprocal Causation DISCUSSION 03. Human Agency 04. Dysfunctional Behavior LEARNING  OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING Observation allows people to Observation learn without performing any behavior Observation is much more efficient than learning through direct MODELING observation. It involves cognitive processes and is not simply mimicry or imitation.  FACTORS THAT DETERMINE LEARNING FROM MODELING CHARACTERISTICS OF OBSERVER CONSEQUENCES OF THE MODEL CHARACTERISTICS MODELED BEHAVIOR Competent, powerful, People who lack status The greater the value an and people of high or power are more likely observer places on a status are more likely to to model. behavior, the more likely be modeled. the behavior is scquired.  PROCESS GOVERNING OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING Attention Motivation Retention/ Behavioral Representation Reproduction  ENACTIVE LEARNING Learning by doing and experiencing the consequences of your actions (self-regulation of behavior, goal-directed behavior, self-monitoring) Three functions of response consequences: 1. Informs effect of actions 2. Motivates anticipatory behavior 3. Learners should be involved in learning response consequences.  TRIADIC RECIPROCAL CAUSATION Human action is a result of an interaction among the following variables: BEHAVIOR PERSONAL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS FACTORS  CHANCE ENCOUNTERS An unintended meeting of persons unfamiliar to each FORTUITOUS other.
