5.2.2 Social Learning Theory

• Who developed Social Learning Theory?

  Albert Bandura
• $\text{Social Learning Theory}$ suggests that individuals learn by observing, imitating, and modelling others, especially through identification
• Cognitive processes such as attention, memory, reproduction, and motivation are essential for Social Learning Theory.
• Match the Social Learning Theory concept with its description:

  Observation ↔️ Noticing and attending to others' behaviors

  Imitation ↔️ Copying behaviors observed

  Reinforcement ↔️ Positive or negative feedback
• List the stages of observational learning in Social Learning Theory:

  1️⃣ Attention

  2️⃣ Retention

  3️⃣ Reproduction

  4️⃣ Motivation
• What are the three types of modelling in Social Learning Theory?

  Live, verbal, symbolic
• The Bobo doll experiment illustrates how children imitate aggressive behaviors they observe.
• In Social Learning Theory, modelling involves observing and imitating the behaviors of others, typically those perceived as admirable or similar
• What is the role of cognitive processes in Social Learning Theory?

  Essential for converting observations
• Match the Social Learning Theory concept with its role in learning:

  Reinforcement ↔️ Shapes whether behaviors are adopted

  Modelling ↔️ Guides the learning process
• Retention is the stage of observational learning where observed behaviors are remembered.
• What does modelling refer to in Social Learning Theory?

  Observing and imitating behaviors
• Associating with models based on perceived similarity enhances motivation
• What is the purpose of modelling in Social Learning Theory?

  Guides the learning process
• Cognitive processes are essential for converting observations into actions in Social Learning Theory
• Positive or negative feedback in Social Learning Theory is called reinforcement
• What are the stages of observational learning as proposed by Albert Bandura?

  1️⃣ Attention

  2️⃣ Retention

  3️⃣ Reproduction

  4️⃣ Motivation
• What is the first stage of observational learning?

  Attention
• Remembering the observed behavior is called retention
• Motivation in observational learning is often driven by reinforcement
• Match the type of modelling with its description:

  Live Modelling ↔️ Directly observing and imitating behavior

  Verbal Modelling ↔️ Learning through spoken instructions

  Symbolic Modelling ↔️ Learning from media characters
• What study by Albert Bandura illustrates the imitation of aggressive behaviors in children?

  Bobo doll experiment
• Noticing and focusing on the model's behavior is called attention
• Vicarious reinforcement involves experiencing consequences firsthand

  False
• What is the primary benefit of vicarious reinforcement in learning?

  Enhances safety
• $\text{Social Learning Theory}$ was developed by Albert Bandura.
• Match the key concepts of Social Learning Theory with their descriptions:

  Observation ↔️ Noticing and attending to others' behaviors

  Imitation ↔️ Copying behaviors observed

  Identification ↔️ Associating with models based on similarity
• The motivation stage in observational learning depends solely on reinforcement
• What are the stages of observational learning in the correct order?

  1️⃣ Attention

  2️⃣ Retention

  3️⃣ Reproduction

  4️⃣ Motivation
• Directly observing and imitating the behavior of another person is called live modelling.
• What is the difference between direct and vicarious reinforcement?

  Experience vs observation
• Match the reinforcement type with its example:

  Direct Reinforcement ↔️ Getting praised for a good grade

  Vicarious Reinforcement ↔️ Seeing a classmate praised for a good grade
• What is the primary focus of Social Learning Theory compared to classical and operant conditioning?

  Observation and imitation
• Social Learning Theory emphasizes cognitive factors more than classical conditioning
• Social Learning Theory provides a comprehensive explanation of how behavior is acquired through observation.
• What is a limitation of Social Learning Theory in predicting behavior?

  Individual differences
