6. The Nature of Observational Learning Module 16: Observational Learning

7. Observational Learning Learning by observing others.

8. Model The person observed in observational learning.

9. Modeling The process of observing and imitating a specific behavior.

10. The Nature of Observational Learning: Albert Bandura’s Experiments Module 16: Observational Learning

11. Albert Bandura (1925- ) Canadian-American psychologist who is a major figure in the study of observational learning and several other important topics. Studies the consequences a model has on subjects Bobo Doll experiments

12. Bobo Doll Experiments Children watched an adult model show aggressive behavior toward a bobo doll Three experimental conditions: –The model was praised. –The model was punished. –The model received no consequences for the aggressive behavior.

13. Bobo Doll Experiments

15. Vicarious Learning Learning by seeing the consequences of another person’s behavior.

16. Vicarious Learning

22. Modeling Requirements Bandura suggests four requirements for effective modeling to occur: –Attention –Retention –Ability to reproduce the behavior –Motivation

23. The Nature of Observational Learning: Mirror Neurons Module 16: Observational Learning

24. Mirror Neurons Brain cells located in the front of the brain that activate when a person performs certain actions or when the person observes another do so. The nerve cells activate when the person does a specific behavior and when they observe someone doing the same behavior.

25. Observational Learning in Everyday Life Module 16: Observational Learning

27. Antisocial/Prosocial Behavior Prosocial behavior – positive, constructive, helpful behavior. Both types of behavior can be modeled effectively.

31. The End

32. Teacher Information Types of Files –This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. Animation –Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. Adding slides to this presentation –Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.

33. Teacher Information Domain Coding –Just as the textbook is organized around the APA National Standards, these Powerpoints are coded to those same standards. Included at the top of almost every slide is a small stripe, color coded to the APA National Standards. Scientific Inquiry Domain Biopsychology Domain Development and Learning Domain Social Context Domain Cognition Domain Individual Variation Domain Applications of Psychological Science Domain Key Terms and Definitions in Red –To emphasize their importance, all key terms from the text and their definitions are printed in red. To maintain consistency, the definitions on the Powerpoint slides are identical to those in the textbook.

34. Teacher Information Hyperlink Slides - Immediately after the unit title slide, a page (usually slide #4 or #5) can be found listing all of the module’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. This allows teachers quick access to each subsection. Continuity slides - Throughout this presentations there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides.
