EDUC 701 Chapter 4
social cognitive theory - Answer-referring to the use of cognitive processes in relation to understanding
the social world
human learning occurs in a social environment
triadic reciprocality - Answer-the idea that behavior is determined through the interaction of behavioral,
cognitive, and environmental or situational variables (person, behavior, environment)
percieved self-efficacy - Answer-beliefs about one's capabilities to organize and implement actions
necessary to learn or perform behaviors at designated levels.
enactive learning - Answer-learning by doing
vicarious learning - Answer-learning based on observation of the consequences of others' behavior
perceived self-efficacy - Answer-what a person believes he or she is capable of doing
self-regulation - Answer-the process whereby individuals activate and sustain behaviors, cognitions, and
affects - which are systematically oriented toward the attainment of goals.
modeling - Answer-the process of observing and imitating a specific behavior
imitation - Answer-copying the behavior of another person
, instinct (theory of imitation) - Answer-observed actions elicit an instinctive drive to copy those actions
development (theory of imitation) - Answer-children imitate actions that fit with existing cognitive
structures
Conditioning (theory of imitation) - Answer-behaviors are imitated and reinforced through shaping.
Imitation becomes a generalized response class.
Instrumental behavior (theory of imitation) - Answer-Imitation becomes a secondary drive through
repeated reinforcement of responses matching those of models. Imitation results in drive reduction
matched dependent behavior - Answer-an observer is reinforced for blindly repeating the actions of a
model
contends that imitation is instrumental learned behavior because it leads reinforcement.
3 Key functions of Modeling - Answer-response facilitation
inhibition/disinhibition
observational learning
Response facilitation (functions of modeling) - Answer-social prompts create motivational inducements
for observers to model the actions ("going along with the crowd")
Inhibition and disinhibition (functions of modeling) - Answer-modeled behaviors create expectations in
observes that they will experience similar consequences should they perform the actions
observational learning (modeling) - Answer-learning by observing others and imitating their behavior
processes include attention, retention, production, and motivation
