    • What does SLT stand for in psychology?
      Social Learning Theory
    • How does SLT claim learning occurs?
      Through observation and imitation of role models
    • What is vicarious reinforcement in SLT?
      Learning from the consequences of others' behavior
    • What type of behavior is more likely to be imitated according to SLT?
      Vicarious behavior that is rewarded
    • Who are children more likely to imitate?
      People they identify with, who are attractive and high status
    • What cognitive processes did Bandura identify as crucial in learning?
      Attention, retention, motor production, and motivation
    • What did Bandura's laboratory experiment involve?
      Children observing aggressive or non-aggressive role models with a Bobo doll
    • What was observed in the follow-up study of Bandura's experiment?
      Children were more aggressive when the model was rewarded
    • What are the strengths and limitations of SLT?
      Strengths:
      • Considers cognitive factors in learning
      • More holistic than traditional behaviorism

      Limitations:
      • Controlled lab studies raise demand characteristics
      • Underestimates biological factors influencing aggression
    • Why is SLT considered more holistic than traditional behaviorism?
      It includes cognitive factors in learning
    • What problem arises from Bandura's use of controlled lab studies?
      It raises the issue of demand characteristics
    • How does SLT view the influence of biological factors?
      It underestimates their role in aggression
    • What behavior difference was noted between boys and girls in Bandura's study?
      Boys showed more aggression than girls
    • How does SLT explain cultural differences in behavior?
      It shows how children learn from parents and peers
    • What does Bandura's concept of reciprocal determinism imply?
      Behavior influences the environment and vice versa
    • Why is SLT considered less deterministic than behaviorism?
      It acknowledges conscious choices in behavior
    • What are the key components of Bandura's Social Learning Theory?
      • Observational learning through role models
      • Vicarious reinforcement
      • Cognitive processes: attention, retention, motor production, motivation
      • Reciprocal determinism
    • What does the cognitive approach focus on?
      Internal mental processes
    • How do internal mental processes affect behavior?
      They influence thoughts, perceptions, and attention
    • What is inferred from behavior in the cognitive approach?
      Private mental processes
    • What do theoretical models in cognitive psychology assume?
      Information is processed sequentially
    • What are the stages in the information processing approach?
      Input, storage, and retrieval
    • What do computer models compare the mind to?
      A computer
    • In the computer analogy, what does the brain represent?
      The hardware
    • What do cognitive processes represent in the computer analogy?
      The software
    • What are schemas in cognitive psychology?
      Mental representations of experiences
    • How do schemas affect information processing?
      They filter and interpret sensory data
    • What do brain imaging techniques map?
      Brain structure to functions
    • What is an example of a brain imaging technique?
      fMRI scans
    • What does cognitive neuroscience study?
      Brain pathways and cognitive functions
    • Which brain areas are mentioned in the cognitive approach?
      Occipital lobe and temporal cortex
    • What is the significance of brain fingerprinting?
      It analyzes brain wave patterns
    • What are the key points of the cognitive approach?
      • Internal mental processes cause behavior
      • Theoretical models assume sequential processing
      • Computer analogy compares mind to computer
      • Schemas act as frameworks for interpreting data
      • Cognitive neuroscience maps brain structures to functions
      • Practical applications in AI and lie detection
    • How does the cognitive approach differ from other approaches?
      It is less deterministic
    • What does the cognitive approach recognize about cognitive systems?
      They operate within known limits
    • What is a strength of the cognitive approach?
      It uses scientific and objective methods
    • What is a criticism of the cognitive approach?
      It reduces humans to machines
    • How does emotional factors affect memory according to research?
      Memory is influenced by emotional factors
    • What is a problem with the cognitive approach's methodology?
      It relies on artificial stimuli
    • What does the cognitive approach offer regarding understanding behavior?
      It provides an incomplete understanding
