SLT

• Provide strengths and weaknesses for SLT

  strengths:allows for different ways of lesrning,scientific,emphasis environment,precise

  weaknesses:false setting-may not reflect real behaviour,ignores biological factors,doesn't tell us why a child would be motivated to perform the same behaviour.
• What did Bandura believe?

  agreed with behaviorists, but argued that we learn indirectly through imitating others especially if others appear to be rewarded.
• Give the 4 main mediational processes.

  attention

  retention

  motor reprod.

  motivation
• What do mediational processes do?

  determine a new response
• What is the influence of observational learning?

  Similarity-identifying with ppl makes their behaviour seem more relatable and attainable.

  Identification with model-more an individual identifies. The more likely imitating is.

  status-ppl in higher positions(eg more wealth)

  knowledge-ppl who are seen as more effective
• What does SLT add?

  -mediating processes between stimulu and response

  -Behaviours is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning.
• What is SLT?

  considers how both environmental and cognitive factors interact to influence human learning and behaviour.
• Who made SLT?

  Albert Bandura,1977
