social learning theory

• Behaviour is learnt through experience

• Learning happens through observation and imitation of others

• Learning can occur indirectly

How does slt work?

1. Identify role model

2. Observe role model

3. Imitate role model

4. Learn through vicarious and direct reinforcement

5. Internalise behaviour

4 mediational processes

1. Attention

2. Retention- remember certain behaviours

3. Motor reproduction- ability to copy behaviours

4. Motivation
