- 1RetentionBehaviour is stored in our memory
- 2ReproductionBehaviour is imitated.
The situatuion will trigger the behaviour to be shown
Child is able to carry out behaviour - 3MotivationIf the child is reinforced they are likely to repeat the behaviour
- 4Explaining genderChildren identify with same sex models.
If the models behave in a sex-typed way the child will imitate this behaviour.
Boys behave in a masculin way and girls behave in a feminine way - 5Observational learning Evidence Spiegler and WeilandInvestigated the effects of vicarious reinforcement/punishment and how well children learnt a story - about a child talking about cuts & funding at their school
High level recall when ppts read about viarious reinforcement/punishment for model - 6Observational learning Evidence FindingsSuggests we learn by observation but choose not to imitate if vicarious punishment is given
Highlights the difference from operant conditioning by the behaviourists where punishment extinguishes behaviour - 7Mediational processes in learningIncludes the bility of the brin to selsct and pay attention to certain stimuli - models behaviour#Stored in the LTM - also stores memories about the outcome of observed behaviour
Helps to predict future behaviours. Interaction with external factors determine the behaviour we immitate - 8Mediational processes in learning ExampleWhen babysitting we imitate our parents behaviour stored in our LTM for ten years
- 9Motivation and performanceObserve responses to models behaviour - vicarious reinforcement or punishment
Use it to make predictions about the outcome of own behaviour - 10Motivation and performance What bandura thinksWe anticipate rewards
"Forethought"
Contradicts behaviourists who say S---R links alone control behaviour - 11Self efficacyOur belief we can carry out behaviour
High self efficacy - we feel confident we can imitate complex behaviours - 12Motivation and performance ApplicationIn health psychology people's self efficacy is assessed. Those with low self efficacy will need more support to stop smoking or lose weight
- 13Bandura's studyBobo doll experiment.
Boys show more acts of physical aggression in their play after watching physically aggressive male models
Girls showed more verbal aggression After watching verbally aggressive female models - 14Bobo doll FindingsIt shows that children are more likely to imitate same sex models and that children quickly what is acceptable aggressive behaviour for their sex.
- 15Bandura's strengthsStrengths - scientific approach, studied observable behaviour in controlled setting, tested hypothesis in a series of experiments
- 16Bandura's study LimitationsEthical issues- psychological harm - children may show more aggressive behaviour at home or school
Lab settings introduce demand characteristics - more aggressive than normal - make result less valid - less useful at explaining real life behaviour - 17Strengths of SLTSLT - builds on behaviourists theory but stresses cognitive processes
Humans are different from other animals - they can store observed behaviour and make predictions - 18Strengths of SLTRigorous scientific experiments to test ideas - establish cause and effect
Measured observable behaviour - 19SLT strengthsSLT is less deterministic than behaviourists
We are able to choose which model to observe and when to imitate
He suggests the idea of reciprocal determinism where behaviour affects environment and others respond and influences behaviour
