This stage typically occurs during adolescence and continues into adulthood.

Question 18

Social learning theory emphasizes (Bandura)

Answer 18

Observation and imitation

• According to this theory, individuals learn by observing the behaviors of others and imitating them. This process allows individuals to acquire new knowledge, skills, and behaviors without the need for direct reinforcement. By observing others, individuals can learn from their experiences and gain a better understanding of how to behave in different situations. The theory suggests that social interactions and modeling play a crucial role in shaping an individual’s behavior and development.

Question 19

Which period begins three weeks after conception?:

Answer 19

Embryonic Period/Stage

• This is the stage of development where the major organs and body systems start to form.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement is true, as it aligns with the principles of social learning theory.

Question 52

Behaviorism focuses on which of the following?

Answer 52

Observable behavior *Behaviorism is a psychological perspective that emphasizes the study of observable behavior. It suggests that behavior can be understood and predicted by examining the environmental stimuli and the individual's response to those stimuli. This approach rejects the significance of unconscious urges, thoughts, and emotions in explaining behavior, as they cannot be directly observed. Instead, behaviorists believe that behavior can be shaped through conditioning and reinforcement, and that it is influenced by the external environment. Therefore, the focus of behaviorism is on studying and analyzing observable behavior to understand and explain human actions.
