Who developed Social Learning Theory?
Albert Bandura
Social Learning Theory
\text{Social Learning Theory}
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
Social Learning Theory
\text{Social Learning Theory}
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
