- Social learning theory
- Assumptions
- Proposed that people learn through: observation and imitation of others in social context
- SLT suggests learning occurs directly (classical/operant) but also indirectly
- Vicarious reinforment
- Type of indirect learning as the individual observations the behavior of others, they may imitate but only when the behavior is rewarded rather than punished
- individual observes the behavior but most importantly the consequence
- Role of mediation processes
- described as the 'bridge' between SLT and cognitive approach' due to the focus on ow mental factors are involve in learning
- 1) Attention - extent we notice certain behaviour
- 2) Retention - how well behaviour is rembered
- 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 hey identify (role models) called modelling/ Role model if they have similar character or high status
- Assumptions
