- shows that personalities are created through a process of observing others and imitating their behaviour
- operant conditioning
- concerned with actions being 'shaped' and reinforced
- takes place only if reinforcement occurs
- complete reinforcement= faster learning if reward is given on every occasion
- if a reward is given after a number of correct responses = learning takes longer but lasts longer

- concerned with actions being 'shaped' and reinforced
- thorndike's laws
- law of readiness [performer must be physically and mentally able to complete the tasks effectively]
