Observational Learning
Learning that occurs through observing the behavior of others, without direct experience.
Social Learning Theory
A theory that emphasizes the role of observational learning, imitation, and modeling in behavior.
Vicarious Reinforcement
Experiencing reinforcement indirectly by observing someone else being rewarded.
Conditioned Taste Aversion
A learned aversion to a specific taste or food associated with illness.
Law of Effect
The principle stating that behaviors followed by favorable outcomes are more likely to be repeated.
Shaping
Gradually training a behavior by rewarding successive approximations of the desired behavior.
Token Economy
A behavioral modification system using tokens as rewards for positive behavior.
Instinctive Drift
The tendency for conditioned behaviors to revert to innate behaviors.
Latency Period
The time between the presentation of a stimulus and the response it elicits.
Cognitive Map
A mental representation of one's physical environment, helping in navigation and understanding.
Learning Styles
Different approaches or ways of learning based on individual preferences.
Reinforcement Schedules
Timelines that dictate how often a behavior is reinforced, affecting behavior persistence.
Constructivist Learning
Learning theory where individuals construct knowledge through experiences and reflection.
Implicit Learning
Learning that occurs unconsciously, often through exposure rather than direct instruction.
Explicit Learning
Learning that involves awareness and intention to learn information.
Feedback
Information provided to learners about their performance to improve learning.
Metacognition
Awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes.
Transfer of Learning
The application of skills or knowledge learned in one context to new contexts.
Self-Regulated Learning
A process where learners take control of their own learning by setting goals and evaluating their progress.
Collaborative Learning
An educational approach where students work together to achieve shared learning goals.
Behaviorism
A theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A type of psychotherapy that helps individuals understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors.
Reinforcement
Any consequence that strengthens the behavior it follows.
Punishment
Any consequence that weakens the behavior it follows.
Observational Learning Process
The steps involved in observational learning, including attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.
Learning Environment
The physical or psychological setting in which learning occurs.
Constructivist Learning Theory
An approach that emphasizes learners actively constructing their own understanding and knowledge.
Intrinsic Motivation
The drive to do something because it is inherently interesting or enjoyable.
Extrinsic Motivation
The drive to do something for an external reward or to avoid punishment.
Active Learning
A teaching method that engages students in the learning process directly.
Scaffolding
Support provided to learners that is gradually removed as they become more competent.
Self-Efficacy
The belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task.
Metacognitive Strategies
Techniques that help learners understand and control their own learning processes.
Distributed Practice
A learning strategy that involves spreading out study sessions over time.
Massed Practice
A learning strategy that involves studying in a single session.
Latent Learning
Learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement and is not immediately reflected in behavior.
Overjustification Effect
The tendency for intrinsic motivation to decline when extrinsic rewards are given for an already intrinsically rewarding task.
Fixed-Interval Schedule
A reinforcement schedule that provides rewards after a set period of time.
Variable-Interval Schedule
A reinforcement schedule that provides rewards after unpredictable amounts of time.
Fixed-Ratio Schedule
A reinforcement schedule that rewards behavior after a specific number of responses.
Variable-Ratio Schedule
A reinforcement schedule that rewards behavior after an unpredictable number of responses.
Behavior Modification
A systematic approach to changing behavior through the use of reinforcement or punishment.
Bobo Doll Experiment
A study by Albert Bandura demonstrating that children learn aggression through observation.
Insight Learning
A form of cognitive learning where problem-solving occurs through a sudden realization of relationships.
Self-Determined Learning
Learning that is driven by the learner's own choices and motivations.
