- Problems generalising from animals to humans
Animals more driven by innate factors = too different to humans for
comparison
Deterministic: bhvs largely governed by environmental forces so can’t
control / be responsible for own actions
Ethical issues abt social control: allow others to control bhv through
conditioning
- Easily testable: use experimental method = scientific as allows strict control
over variables
E.g. IV manipulated to see effects on DV in Skinner’s work on rats + Pavlov’s
work on dogs




SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY (Bandura, 1977)

LEARNING BY OBSERVATION + IMITATION of others within a social

context

1. Modelled behavior from role model

2. Observer identifies with role model : perceived similarity + status

3. Behavior is observed

● Attention : attending to behavior of perceived similar role model

● Retention: retain behavior in memory

- imagery: mental images

- language: verbal descriptors

● Reproduction: recall retained bhv + imitate modelled bhv

- self-efficacy: relies also on own self-confidence + belief in own capabilities to
successfully imitate bhv
● Motivation: a reason to carry out behavior if it’s rewarded =
Vicarious reinforcement (learning from others’successes / mistakes)
