Social Learning Theory
Cards in this deck (10)
- 1What did Bandura propose which made SLT different from behaviourismThat learning can also take place indirectly and also combines roles of cognitive factors
- 2What is vicarious reinforcementreinforcement that is not directly experiences but occurs through observing someone else being reinforced for a behaviour
- 3What type of learning is SLTObservation of consequences of behaviour
- 4How is SLT seen as a bridge between cognitive approach and behaviourismBecause it focuses on how mental factors are involved in learning
- 5Name the four mediational processes involved in learning1 - attention
2 - retention
3 - motor reproduction
4 - motivation - 6Which mediational processes are involved in learning a behaviour and which are involved in performance of behaviourLearning: attention and retention
Performance: motor reproduction and motivation - 7What is modellingWhen people (especially children) are more likely to imitate behaviours from people with whom they identify with (role models)
- 8How does a person become a role modelIf they possess similar characteristics to the observer and/or are attractive or have a high status
- 9How can the effects of media be related to the Bobo doll experimentThree groups of children watched a video of an adult beating up a Bobo doll, 1st got praised, 2nd got punished by being told off, 3rd had no consequences (control). Order of most aggressive: 1st, 3rd, 2nd
- 10Give 5 evaluation points for SLT1 - recognises importance of mediational process in learning
2 - over-reliance on evidence from lab studies (children saw instructions)
3 - underestimates biological factors (boys have testosterone)
4 - explains cultural differences in behaviour
5 - Less deterministic than behaviour approach ( we exert influence on environment - free will)
