SLT

• Main psychologist=bandura
• SLT says that people learn behaviours from role models
• Bandura's experiment was on children who were shown an adult model hitting a Bobo doll with a hammer. The children were then left alone to play with toys including a Bobo doll. They found that those who had seen the model hit the doll did so themselves more often than those who hadn't seen it.
• mediational processes

  • attention
  • retention
  • motor reproduction
  • motivation
• Modelling involves observing and imitating other people
• Identifying with a role model makes modelling their behaviour more likely- ie girls look up to girl role models more because they can identify
• Vicarious reinforcement= you see a role model be rewarded for behaviour so you are motivated to reproduce that behaviour
