Social Learning Theory
Cards in this deck (5)
- 1Social Learning theory was developed mainly by Albert Bandura and suggests...suggests that behaviour is learned from the environment through the processes of modeling and reinforcement.
- 2The basic idea of SLTThe basic idea is that we do not need to experience everything personally in order to learn. We can learn by watching other people.
E.g. if someone ran out screaming from a dark alley, you would know the alleyway is dangerous and not to go down it.
I dont need to experience the fear myself in order to avoid going down the alley .
This is a great time saver for our brains and it also protects us as a species. - 3Observational LearningWe learn by observing and imitating others. We observe the behaviour of others= MODELS
and we notice the consequences it has on them and their environment. We learn without the need to preform the observed behaviours ourselves. - 4SLT is based on a cognitive theory of motivation and involves several distinct cognition processesThese processes:
-Motivation: Our present behaviours
are largely governed by internalized outcome expectancies
-Attention: The model's behaviour and its consequences must be attended to by the learner. Research shows that more attractive, distinctive and powerful models are better attended to.
-Coding and Memory: The behaviour of the model needs to be properly encoded and stored in the learner's memory in ways that allow both for immediate imitation or imitation that is delayed (deferred imitation) - 5Self-efficacyBandura 1997
This term refers to a person's belief in their own
