Observational learning

We are constantly learning all around us, it can be from the media or even a family member. We are grasping information voluntarily or even involuntarily. While not all the behaviors we take in are positive, our behaviors can be altered specific way. To increase or decrease a behavior, we may use punishment or reinforcement. To stimulate a response or action, the process would be classical conditioning. Observational learning can also be latent learning, which is the person or animal didn’t…

different components of learning; classical conditioning, operant learning, and observational learning. Many may not know there are so many ways we learn. Our peers can classically condition us to act the way they would consider to be good behavior. Throughout our childhood and even now operant learning comes into play, like when we get a speeding ticket. And observational learning happens when you learn from watching others perform a certain task. Each of these learning types has four…

I agree with Albert Bandura’s theory of observational learning. I was able to acquire new skills, solve problems and gain new beliefs from such a young age. (King, 2016) Learning how to cook chicken picatta from watching my cousin Lynn and learning how to change a tire by watching my cousin Tony are just two examples of skills that I have acquired by observing others. Cooking the chicken Picatta…

Observational Learning As described in the reading, the explanation given for observational learning states that it is accomplished by observing an influential role model performing a behavior and achieving an outcome. This is exactly the type of role model employed by this project. Persons who had credibility, who were deemed trustworthy in the community were sent out into the community to reach out to those who would-be or were violent offenders. Normative Beliefs Normative beliefs are…

Topic 1 – Observational Learning, Textbook p.168 When JW came into the workplace to learn about his new job, he was excited about the new educational learning that he would be receiving about the modernized electrical control systems in the factory. As JW started learning about controlling Ethernet drives and input / output control systems, he started struggling with the concept of the many different things that were going on inside one communications cable. His classic conditioning of the old…

from an adult role model then they are more likely to imitate aggressive behaviour than a child who has observed a calmer role model. It was found that. Bandura argues that behaviour is learnt as a result of social learning if the child has followed the steps of observational learning. In order to learn through the environment, the child has to observe the behaviour of a model. The child has to then store the behaviour they have…

functioning’s by discussing two social concepts and two behavioural concepts and discussing the concepts’ theoretical underpinning. The social concepts include obedience and internal/external attributions and the two behavioural concepts consist of observational learning and self-efficacy. A clear example in the video that shows social concept is obedience. “Obedience is a form of compliance that occurs when people follow direct commands usually from someone in position of authority” (Weiten,…

It is the championship football game. Lauderdale County is up 36 to 35, however, the opposing team is just 5 yards away from a touch down with 3.2 seconds remaining. “What are we going to do captain?”, asked Joseph. “We have got to rush the line of scrimmage and blitz the lineman and go for the sack,” said Junior, the captain. “All right men, let’s win this football game!” Everyone replied in a loud chant, “Ready… Break!” The football players took their position and were pumped and ready for…

When analyzing the information collated from both primary and secondary research findings, the results clearly indicate that a direct relationship does in fact exist between the widespread presence of violence in the media and its concomitant negative influence on violence within society. This is a serious social issue that needs to be considered, as the aspect of violence is highly prevalent in the media according to primary research studies (see Fig. A). Some of the reasons why society finds…

Some developmental theorist, such as B.F Skinner and Konrad Lorenz studied the development and behavior of animals as a means to understanding human developmental processes. B.F Skinner was a behaviorist and Konrad Lorenz was an ethnologist. Both theorists’ approaches have limitations and benefits. B.F Skinner being a behaviorist and an environmentalist was very concerned with how environments controlled behavior, and as a result he conducted many tests using operant condition (Crain, 2016).…
