Chapter 10 - Observational Learning

QuestionAnswer
observational learning Learning by observing environmental events and their consequences.
learning model In social observational learning, a model who is observed as he or she learns to perform a task. Also called an unskilled model
Learning model also known as unskilled model
social observational learning Learning from the observation of a model and the consequences of the models behavior. This form of observational learning is also called vicarious learning.
asocial observational learning Learning from the observation of events and their consequences in the absence of a model.
vicarious reinforcement An increase in the strength of an observed behavior following reinforcement of that behavior in a model. [2]: If the consequences of the models behavior strengthen the observers tendency to behave in a similar way, we say the behavior has been ____ .
vicarious punishment A decrease in the strength of an observed behavior following punishment of that behavior in a model. [2]. If the consequences of the models behavior weaken the observers tendency to behave in a similar way, the behavior is said to be _____ .
ghost condition An experimental procedure in which an event normally performed by a model appears to occur without a model. The condition is used in studies of asocial observational learning.
imitation o behave in a manner resembling the behavior of a model.
over-imitation The tendency of observers to imitate acts by a model that are irrelevant/superfluous/unnecessary to obtaining reinforcement.
operant learning model Any procedure or experience in which a behavior becomes stronger or weaker (e.., more or less likely to occur, depending on its consequences. Also called instrumental learning. (Cf. Pavlovian conditioning.)
generalized imitation The tendency to imitate modeled behavior even though the imitative behavior is not reinforced
edutainment Materials (books, videos, radio programs, etc.) that attempt to educate and entertain the public simultaneously (all at the same time).
Two important variables in social observational learning are the consequences of the models behavior and the consequences of the observer’s behavior.
According to Bandura’s theory, we imitate successful models because we expect rewarding consequences.
According to the operant learning model, attention refers to the influence of environmental events on behavior.
O [E ------ S+/-] . This reads An observer (O) views an event E] and its positive and or negative consequences (S. Note that since there is no model, there can be no vicarious reinforcement or punishment, yet the observers behavior is influenced by the consequences of an event.
O [MB S +/-] An observer (O) views a models behavior (MB) and its positive and or negative consequences
