who came up with SLT?
Bandura 1986
explain modelling?
in order for SL to take place someone must model the attitude/behaviour to be learned.
what are the different types of models?
live model(parent, teacher, peer at school) symbolic model(character portrayed on tv)
what is imitation?
observe models and reproduce the behaviour
how quick iss imitation?
once a model is produced whole waves of behaviour can be reproduced
what are the key determinits of if imitation occurs?
the characteristics of the model the observers perceived ability to perform that behaviour the observed consequence of that behaviour
wjat is identification?
the extent to which an individual related to a model and feels that they are similar to the persons in order to identify with a model a person must feel that they re similar enough o that if they were to imitate that behaviour they would experience the same outcome.
are children more likley to imitatat behaviur from people they idnetify with?
yes(research shows)
what did Bandura and Walters(1963) note about agressive behaviou?
children that a observe a model getting a reward for aggressive behaviour were more likley to imitate said behaviour than cildren whp had observed a model get punished for that same behaviour
what is vicarious reinformeent?
learning that is not the result of behaviour but through observing someone else be reinforced for that behaviour.
what is a mediational process?
the internal working processes that occur between environment stimuli stimuli and the response made by an individual to that stimuli.
what is the role of mediational processes?
Bundura (1986) claimed that for SL to take place the observer must form mental repreentation of the behaviour displayed by the model and the probable consequences of that behaviour in term o expectincies of future outcomes. WHen appropriate oppurtunities aise in the future, the individual might display the learned behaviour provided the probability of positove consequences is greater than the probability of negative consequences.
Bandure et al(1961) procedure?
children who observed agressive or non agressive adult models and were then tested for imitive learning in the absence of a model half were exposed to an adult active agressivley with and life size bobo doll and half were exposed to an adult acting non aggressive following exposure children were frustrated by being shown attractive toys which they could not play with they were then taken toa room where, along with other toys, there was a bobo doll.
what was Bandura(1961) findings?
children who observed a amount of aggression were more likley to act agresivley children who observed no agression had virtually no agression towards the bobo doll 1/3 of the children who oberved the models agression repeated the verbal phrases in a follow up study, Bandure and Walters found out children were more likley to act agressvley when they saw the model being rewarded for agressive behaviour.
