Chp 09 - Human Learning

Front 1

Attentional processes

Back 1

In Bandura’s theory of vicarious learning, any activity by an observer that aids in the observation of relevant aspects of a model’s behaviour and its consequences.

Front 2

Generalised imitation

Back 2

The tendency to imitate modelled behaviour even through the imitative behaviour is not reinforced.

Front 3

Motivational processes

Back 3

In Bandura’s theory of vicarious learning, the expectation that a modelled behaviour will be reinforced.

Front 4

Motor reproductive processes

Back 4

In Bandura’s theory of vicarious learning, the skills required to perform modelled behaviour.

Front 5

Observational (or vicarious) learning

Back 5

Any procedure in which an organism learns by observing the behaviour of another organism.

Front 6

Retentional processes

Back 6

In Bandura’s theory of vicarious learning, any activity by an observer that aids recall of modelled behaviour.

Front 7

Vicarious punishment

Back 7

A decrease in an observer’s tendency to imitate a model when the model’s behaviour has been punished.

Front 8

Vicarious reinforcement

Back 8

An increase in an observer’s tendency to imitate a model when the model’s behaviour has been reinforced.
