social learning theory

social learning theory

behaviour is learned through experience, agreeing with classical conditioning

however, ideas of indirect experience

banduras theory

people observe the different consequences of their own and others behaviour. on the basis of this feedback they develop hypotheses about the behaviour mostly likely to succeed in a situation

imitation

copying the behaviour of others

identification

desire to be associated with a particular person or group because they possess certain characteristics

role model

people who have qualities we would like to have and we identify with, thus we model or imitate their behaviour or attitudes

meditational processes

cognitive factors involved in learning these mental factors mediate in learning process to determine whether a new response is acquired

vicarious reinforcement

watching someone else gain a reward or praise and wanting it for yourself, so repeating their behaviour

attention

the individual notices someone

retention

individual remembers wha they observed

motor reproduction

the individual replicates the behaviour shown by the model

motivation

individual has the will to perform the behaviour which is then determined by whether the behaviour was awardeded or punished

strength

recognises cognitive factors

real world application- through sociesties

limitations

achieved through lab studies, only shows behaviour in lab setting

doesn’t c consider biological factors
