Theories of learning Flashcards
(13 cards)
what’s the social/ observational learning theory from Bandura?
Behaviour is more likely to be repeated if it is reinforced with success, particularly if it is a powerful image performed by a role model
what does the learner do in the social learning theory from Bandura?
learner copies desired behaviours (social learning)
what are the specific processes of Bandura’s
deomstration
attention
retention
motor production
motivation
what’s attention?
the learner must be attracted to the demonstration. Cues should be used to highlight key points
what’s retention?
once a performer has accepted a new skill, the coach must make sure it’s stored. The info should be broken down into small ‘chunks’ so it can be processed by the short-term memory
what’s motor reproduction?
the player must be physically able to replicate the skill being learnt. Demos should match the ability of the learner
what’s motivation?
the learner is more likely to continue to practice if they are motivated. This can happen by the coach reinforcing positive feedback
who conducted the Bobo doll experiment?
Albert Bandura
what did Bandura study in the bobo doll experiment?
childrens behaviours after watching an adult model act aggressively towards a bobo doll
what was the most notable variation of the experiment?
measured the children’s behaviours after seeing the adult model rewarded, punished, or experience no consequence for physically abusing the bobo doll
what was the 1st stage of the bobo doll experiment?
first group saw the model act aggressively
what was the 2nd stage of the bobo doll experiment?
second group saw a non-aggressive model
what’s the 3rd stage of the bobo doll experiment?
third group didn’t see the model
