through observation and imitation within a social context
1 of 26
How does SLT suggest learning occurs directly
Through classical and operant onditioning
2 of 26
How is behaviour learnt indirecty
Through vicarious reinforcement
3 of 26
what happens in indirect learning
The learner observes a behavior but importantly the consequences of that behaviour
4 of 26
what is slt the bridge between
learning theory and the cognitive approach
5 of 26
What are the 4 mediational facotrs
Attention, retention, reproducion and motivation
6 of 26
What type of behaviour is attention and retention
learning of behaviour
7 of 26
What type of behaviour is reproduction and motivatin
Performance of behaviour
8 of 26
What are role models
People with whom you identify with
9 of 26
How does a person become a role model
if they are seen to have similar characteristics to te observer/re attractive/have a high status
10 of 26
What is modelling
imitating the behaviour of a role model

What did Bandura record the behaviour of
young children who watched an adult be aggressive towards a bob doll
12 of 26
What happened when the children were then put in a room with the bobo doll
They behaved much more aggressively towards it than any other toy
13 of 26
Which aspect of SLT does this illustrate
modelling/ observing behaviour and mitating it through a social context
14 of 26
What happened in the second condition
one group of children saw the adult praised for his behaviour, one group saw him punished, the third saw no consequence
15 of 26
which group showed the most aggression
The first group - praised for aggression
16 of 26
which aspect of SLT does this study demonstrate
Study B illustrates vicarious reinforcement and how it encourages behaviour
17 of 26
Give one strength of SLT in the real world
high in practical application - debate about whether violence on TV or in video games will cause aggressive behaviour
18 of 26
What research support does SLT have
There is support from the applicability of the SLT to adults. Phillips (1986) found that daily homicide rates in the US almost always increased in the week following a major boxing match. This suggests that viewers were imitating behaviour they watch
19 of 26
What is a weakness of Banduras research
Lab context - rtificial, demand characteristics, social learning theory is all about behaviour in a social context, not in an artificial context
20 of 26
what limits SLT
ignores biological factors
21 of 26
what proof is there of biological factors in Banduras study
Boys overall behaved more aggressively - testosterone
22 of 26
what is reciprocal determinism
The idea tat our environment influences our behaviour but we also influence our environment through the behaviours we choose - FREE WILL (a bit)
23 of 26
What is imitation
Copying the behaviour of others
24 of 26
What is identification
When an observer associted themself with a role model and wants to be like the role model.
25 of 26
What a mediational processes
cognitive factors that influence learning an that come between stimulus-response
