vicarious punishment…

decreases likelihood of replication

what is the second step of observational learning?

2. retention

what is the third step of observational learning?

3. reproduction

what is the forth step of observational learning?

4. motivation

what is the fifth step of observational learning?

reinforcement

influence the likelihood of reproducing behaviour

What is the first step in the observation learning process?

Attention - pay attention to the individual making the origami frog.

what is self-efficacy?

believing you are capable of accomplishing such tasks.

What is the second step in the observation learning process?

Retention - process and remember how to fold and create the origami frog.

What is the third step in the observation learning process?

Reproduction - replicate the actions to create the origami frog.

What is the fourth step in the observation learning process?

Motivation - wanting to create the origami frog.

What is the fifth step in the observation learning process?

Reinforcement - after watching vicarious reinforcement, it increases the likelihood of replicating behavior.
