- Social Learning Theory
- The role of mediitation processs
- 1) Attention - extent we notice certain behaviour
- 2) Retention - how well behaviour is rembered
- described as the 'bridge' between SLT and cognitive approach' due to the focus on how mental factors are involve in learning
- 3) Motor reproduction - ability to perfrom the behaviour
- 4) Motivation - will to perform based on the reward/punishment
- Identification
- Children are more likely to imitate the behavior of people whom they identify with
- The role model is usually attractive, has high social status, is of a similar age and the same gender to the observer.
- Live model - present in our environment eg parents
- Symbolic Model - present in the media eg celebs
- Children are more likely to imitate the behavior of people whom they identify with
- Vicarious reinforcement
- when an observer
sees their role model being rewarded for displaying a certain behaviour.
- The observer is then motivated to imitate this behaviour, in an effort to receive the same reward.
- when an observer
sees their role model being rewarded for displaying a certain behaviour.
- Bobo doll experiment (1961)
- 2 groups of 36 children watched a model with a doll
- group 1 : model was hitting the doll with a hammer and shouting at it
- group 2: model was non-agressive to the doll
- G1 were more aggressive than G2 and displayed more specific acts that the model did. Boys were more aggressive
- group 1 : model was hitting the doll with a hammer and shouting at it
- This supports SLT as it shows that children imitate behavior of role model even if the behavior is aggressive.
- G1 were more aggressive than G2 and displayed more specific acts that the model did. Boys were more aggressive
- 1963 he redid the study but with consequences
- G1: the model was praised
- when they all played together G1 then G3 showed most aggressive
- This shows that imitation is more likely to occur when the model is positively reinforced, demonstratig the importance of vicarious reinforcement.
- when they all played together G1 then G3 showed most aggressive
- G2: the model was told off
- when they all played together G1 then G3 showed most aggressive
- This shows that imitation is more likely to occur when the model is positively reinforced, demonstratig the importance of vicarious reinforcement.
- when they all played together G1 then G3 showed most aggressive
- G3: no consequences
- G1: the model was praised
- 2 groups of 36 children watched a model with a doll
- suggests that learning occurs both directly, through classical+ operant conditioning, and indirectly, through vicarious reinforcement
- Bandura’s Bobo Doll experiment ignores the biological differences between boys and
girls
- Acknowledges the role of human cognition
- The role of mediitation processs
- observation
- 2) Retention - how well behaviour is rembered
- 1) Attention - extent we notice certain behaviour
