Front 1

What are the four processes involved in the social learning theory?

Back 1

Attention
Retention
Reproduction
Motivation

Front 2

Behaviour is learnt from the environment through the process of observation, this can be done by?

Back 2

Copying
Imitating

Front 3

Individuals that are oberserved are called?

Back 3

Models

Front 4

Explain the bobo doll experiment?

Back 4

Bandura put adults in a room with a bobo doll and children observed how the adults treated the doll. After a while some of the adults would turn aggressive towards the doll e.g. shouting and hitting doll. The children were then asked to play with the bobo doll. The children who observed adults acting violent with the doll acted the same and children who observed adults acting nicely towards the doll did the same. This shows that becuase the children oberved the behaviour of the adults they observed learned and copied the same way.

Front 5

People are more likely to imitate and copy another behaviour if that person?

Back 5

Is rewarded for their behaviour

Front 6

What is Retention?

Back 6

In order to reproduce an observed behavior, observers must be able to remember features of the behavior. Again, this process is influenced by observer characteristics

Front 7

What is Attention?

Back 7

In order to learn, observers must attend to the modeled behavior.

Front 8

What is reproduction?

Back 8

The observer must organize responses in accordance with the model. Observer characteristics affecting reproduction include physical and cognitive capabilities and previous performance.

Front 9

What is Motivation?

Back 9

The decision to reproduce (or refrain from reproducing) an observed behavior is dependent on the motivations and expectations of the observer, including anticipated consequences and internal standards.
