DTP 2 Social Cognitive Approaches

Question 1

Observational learning

Answer 1

When a person learns by watching the behavior demonstrated by another + consequences(model)

observation and mimcry

Question 2

Social learning

Answer 2

Process by which social influences layer people’s thoughts feelings and behaviors, acquired through OBSERVATIONAL learning

Question 3

Modelling

Answer 3

Observer demonstrates the learnt behavior by imitating is

Question 4

Model

Answer 4

Person who’s behavior and consequence is being observed by the learner

Question 5

Observation

Answer 5

Observing models A+C to guide future behavior of learner

Question 6

Role of learner in observational learning

Answer 6

Active (more than Operant)

Question 7

Nature of response of observational learning

Answer 7

Voluntary (intentional mimicry)

Question 8

Timing of response/stimulus

Answer 8

Observe stimulus and then replicate behavior

Question 9

5 Stages of observational learning

Answer 9

attention
retention
reproduction
motivation
reinforcement

Question 10

Attention

Answer 10

Learner must actively pay attention and focus on model’s actions and consequence

Question 11

retention

Answer 11

Learner must retain a mental representation of the model’s behavior (more meaningful, easier to retrieve）

Question 12

Reproduction

Answer 12

Learner must be physically and mentally capable f reproducing the behavior

Question 13

Motivation

Answer 13

Learner must have desire to perform behaviors
(influenced by punishment/ reinforcement)

Question 14

Reinforcement

Answer 14

Consequence of behavior influences likelihood of it being reproduced
(through models, third person, personal or vicarious)

Question 15

Why would a learner be more likely to observe a model?

Answer 15

Attractive
Famous
Someone they admire
Credible
Respected
Authority figure
High levels of motivation
Shares similarities with learner

Question 16

4 Principles of observational learning

Answer 16

Learning occurs by observing behavior of others and consequences

Question 17

4 Principles of observational learning

Answer 17

Learning can occur without there being an immediate change in behavior (remain latent)

Question 18

4 Principles of observational learning

Answer 18

Cognition plays a role since learner has awareness and expectations for future consequences

Question 19

4 Principles of observational learning

Answer 19

ObservLearn links behaviorist theories of learning and cognitive learning theories

Question 20

Vicarious learning

Answer 20

process of learning that occurs by observing behavior + consequences of others, rather than direct experience.

Question 21

What does Vicarious learning allow learner to do

Answer 21

Acquire skills, knowledge and attitudes by watching others and understanding the outcomes of their actions

Question 22

Vicarious conditioning

Answer 22

Involves being conditioned indirectly by observing someone else being reinforced or punished

Question 23

Vicarious Reinforcement

Answer 23

Increases likelihood of observer behaving in similar way of model whose behavior was reinforced

Question 24

Vicarious Punishment

Answer 24

Decreases likelihood of observer perform behavior after seeing a model’s behavior be punished

Question 25

5 stages summary

Answer 25

Attention: Learner actively watches mode Retention: Stores mental representation of behavior Reproduction: Mental/phys capability to perform behavior Motivation: environmental stimuli makes learner want to perform behavior Reinforcement: Positive outcome means learner will repeat when motuvated, vice versa. Stages 1-4 the learning is latent
