- 8Why aren't all behaviours modelled and not all models imitated?It's dependant on cog factors: attention, memory, motivation and reproduction
- 9Why might young children find it harder to record and imitate behaviour?They have few strategies to develop their memory
- 10What is motivation?An observer must be reassure by the consequences of a modelled behaviour for them to imitate it. It must yield some reward (external/intrinsic)
- 11What's reproduction?The physical capability to reproduce a modelled behaviour
- 12Learning via imitation depends on what 2 things?1. characteristics of the individual 2. Desire to adopt and reproduce a particular behaviour
- 13Why might an individual acquire a new behaviour but not reproduce it?There is no requirement for reinforcement
- 14What 3 factors did Pennington suggest affects whether the model is imitated?1. Characteristics of observer 2. Characteristics of model 3. consequences of behaviour
- 15When is a model most likely to be imitated?when an observer can identify their characteristics as being similar to them, appropriate and yielding desirable consequences
- 16What happens if a models behaviour is inconsistent?The observer will be inconsistent in their behaviour
- 17What is Mischel's idea of situational specificity?The behaviours we produce are a consequence of the situation in which they occrus
- 18How does the theory explain why we all behave good and bad at times?Our behaviour is dependant on what happens to use and what we've seen others do in the past and what we think is likely to be ta consequence of behaving in a particular way
