- Social Learning Theory
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- cognitive factors in learning
- gives more complete explanation of learning than behaviourist
- we store info about behaviour of others and used to decide when its appropriate to perform them
- cultural differences
- media - cultural norms transmitted
- children understating of gender roles - role models
- biological only explained universal not cultural
- less determinist (free will)
- reciprocal determinism - influenced by environment but we still influence the behaviours we perform so we have some free will
- more realistic and flexible than behaviourist - recognises the role we play in shaping our environment
- cognitive factors in learning
- Limitation
- Relies too much on lab studies
- demand characteristic- children observed in lab settings
