- Social Learning Theory
- Assumptions
- Bandura agreed that behaviour is learned from experience
- People learn from imitation and observation
- There are ways of indirectly learning
- Vicarious Reinforcement
- Learner watches a individual
- Behaviour is imitated if it is seen to be rewarded
- Mediational Processes
- Attention- extent to which we notice behaviours
- Retention- remembering
- Motor Reproduction
- Motivation
- Identification
- Role models possess similar traits and are of high status to the observer
- May be in the media
- Modelling
- Evaluation
- Cognitive Factors- considers how humans and animals can store information about behaviour
- Too Much Lab Reliance- the whole point of a Bobo doll is to be hit (demand characteristic) so this shows the results are hard to apply to real life
- Ignores Biological Influence- the Bobo doll results could be explained by hormones
- Less Determinist- Bandura emphasised reciprocal determinism (we exert influence upon our environment) and that we have free will of when to perform some actions
- Assumptions
