Assumptions of social learning theory

    Cards (5)

    • Human learning is explained through observational learning or modelling, which involves identification, imitation and reinforcement.
    • Mediating cognitive factors play an important role in observational learning. These include attention, retention, reproduction and motivation.
    • Behaviour is learned through experience
    • People learn through imitation of others in a social context
    • Learning occurs directly through classical and operant conditioning, plus indirectly through vicarious reinforcement
