SLT

1. Researchers:Bandura

2. Basic Assumptions

   • Imitation of others' behaviour is a key idea
   • It combines principles from the behaviourist and cognitive approaches
   • Behaviour is learnt from a combination of observation of others' behaviour and expectation of reinforcement or punishment for copying what is seen

3. Methods:Experiments,Observations

4. Less Deterministic

   • Family dysfunctions=>Schizophrenia that if there is a family conflict occurs that the person would get schizophrenia to cope with it and that is not always the case

5. Nuture

   • Looks at mediating processes but more on the nuture side => Winokur => could be due to imitation of the depressed parent that causes the child to become depressed

6. Nomothetic

   • Assumes everyone identifies with same sex parent how about abnormal families => Gender

7. Less Reductionist

   • Doesn't explain the cognitive processes in enough depth. Uses models but still considers the choices you make in the environment

8. Application/Impact

   • Education
   • Prisons
   • Autism => imitate sounds (Speech therapy)
