SLT

• How did behaviorism influence psychology?


  It emphasized scientific processes and controlled lab experiments.
• How do behaviorists view animals and humans in terms of behavior?


  As passive and machine-like responders to the environment.
• What are the four mediational processes identified by Bandura?


  Attention, retention, motor reproduction, and motivation.
• What is the significance of identification in social learning theory?


  People are more likely to imitate behaviors of those they identify with, such as role models.
• How does the cognitive approach differ from behaviorism?


  The cognitive approach focuses on internal mental processes, while behaviorism focuses on observable behavior.
• How does cognitive psychology address the limitations of behaviorism?


  By incorporating the study of mental processes and cognitive factors in learning.
• Assumptions of SLT


  1.Development of behaviourist approach, he said there are important processes between stimuli and response and classical and operant conditioning can't account for all human learning

  .2.Development of behaviourist approach, he said there are important processes between stimuli and response and classical and operant conditioning can't account for all human learning.
• What's vicarious reinforcement


  Observer sees sees role model being g rewarded and it motives them to do the same behaviour, consequences are also observed.
• What is SLT the bridge between


  Classical, operant and cognitive approach, so the thinking before you do the action.
• Explain the mediations processes


  Attention- the extent to which we notice something

  Retention- how well the behaviour is remembered

  Motor reproduction- to perform the behaviour

  Motivation- the will to perform the behaviour which is determined if the behaviour was rewarded or punished
• What was the bobo doll experiment


  -Adult did physical aggression towards doll

  -child repeated behaviour

  -also used negative language towards the doll

  -children shown aggressive adult chose violent weapons

  -children who didn't witness aggressive adult didn't display aggressive behaviour, they behaved similarly to their role model.
• What are the evaluations for SLT


  STRENGTHS

  -Highlights importance of cognitive factors in learning, bandura says observing others is a better way to learn rather than using our own experiences

  -explains cultural differences in behaviour

  WEAKNESS

  -downplays biological factors as bandura says learning is shaped by your environment.

  -Lab studies are artificial as they're done in controlled conditions so children did not act truthfully and showed demand characteristics.
• What is the social learning theory


  all behaviour is learned from observing other people in social context
