    Social Learning Theory: - Albert Bandura

    Albert Bandura developed social learning theory, which emphasizes that people can learn through observation of others. In his famous Bobo doll experiment, Bandura showed that children imitate aggressive behaviors they observe. Social learning theory proposes that learning occurs through observation, imitation, and modeling of behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Key concepts include observational learning, intrinsic reinforcement, and the modeling process which involves attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. Bandura's influential social learning theory shifted the view that learning is solely based on reinforcement and punishment.

    Timeline of Events:
    Albert Bandura was born December 4, 1925.
    Graduated from the University of British
    Columbia with a degree in Psychology - 1949
    Received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from
    the University of Iowa - 1952
    1953 – Began teaching at Stanford University.
    1974 – Served as President of the APA.
    1980 – Received the APA’s Award for Distinguished Scientific
    Contributions.
    2004 - Outstanding Lifetime Contribution to Psychology,
    American Psychological Association
    The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura
    has become perhaps the most influential theory of
    learning and development. While rooted in many of
    the basic concepts of traditional learning theory,
    Bandura believed that direct reinforcement could not
    account for all types of learning.
    While the behavioral theories of learning suggested
    that all learning was the result of associations formed
    by conditioning, reinforcement, and punishment,
    Bandura's social learning theory proposed that
    learning can also occur simply by observing the actions
    of others.
    The social learning theory of Bandura emphasizes the
    importance of observing and modeling the behaviors,
    attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Bandura
    (1977) states:
    "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to
    mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the
    effects of their own actions to inform them what to do.
    Fortunately, most human behavior is learned
    observationally through modeling: from observing
    others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are
    performed, and on later occasions this coded
    information serves as a guide for action.“
    - Albert Bandura
    Observational learning is sometimes
    also referred to as shaping, modeling, and
    vicarious reinforcement. While it can take
    place at any point in life, it tends to be the
    most common during childhood as children
    learn from the authority figures and peers in
    their lives. It also plays an important role in
    the socialization process, as children learn
    how to behave and respond to others by
    observing how their parents and other
    caregivers interact with each other and with
    other people.
    Basic Social Learning Concepts
    1. People can learn through observation.
    Observational Learning
    In his famous Bobo doll experiment, Bandura
    demonstrated that children learn and imitate
    behaviors they have observed in other people.
    The children in Bandura’s studies observed
    an adult acting violently toward a Bobo doll.
    When the children were later allowed to play
    in a room with the Bobo doll, they began to
    imitate the aggressive actions they had
    previously observed.
    EXAMPLE OF BOBO
    DOLL
    Bandura identified three basic models of
    observational learning:

    - A live model, which involves an actual


    individual demonstrating or acting out a
    behavior.
    - A verbal instructional model, which
    involves descriptions and explanations of a
    behavior.
    - A symbolic model, which involves real or
    fictional characters displaying behaviors in
    books, films, television programs, or online
    media.
    2. Mental states are important to learning.
    Intrinsic Reinforcement
    Bandura noted that external, environmental
    reinforcement was not the only factor to influence
    learning and behavior. He described intrinsic
    reinforcement as a form of internal reward, such as
    pride, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment.
    This emphasis on internal thoughts and cognitions
    helps connect learning theories to cognitive
    developmental theories. While many textbooks
    place social learning theory with behavioral
    theories, Bandura himself describes his approach as
    a 'social cognitive theory.'
    3. Learning does not necessarily lead to a
    change in behavior.

    The Modeling Process


    Not all observed behaviors are effectively
    learned. Factors involving both the model
    and the learner can play a role in whether
    social learning is successful. Certain
    requirements and steps must also be
    followed. The following steps are involved in
    the observational learning and modeling
    process:
    ATTENTION:
    In order to learn, you need to be paying
    attention. Anything that distracts your
    attention is going to have a negative effect on
    observational learning. If the model
    interesting or there is a novel aspect to the
    situation, you are far more likely to dedicate
    your full attention to learning.
    RETENTION:
    The ability to store information is also an
    important part of the learning process.
    Retention can be affected by a number of
    factors, but the ability to pull up information
    later and act on it is vital to observational
    learning.
    REPRODUCTION:
    Once you have paid attention to the model
    and retained the information, it is time to
    actually perform the behavior you observed.
    Further practice of the learned behavior leads
    to improvement and skill advancement.
    MOTIVATION:
    Finally, in order for observational learning to
    be successful, you have to be motivated to
    imitate the behavior that has been modeled.
    Reinforcement and punishment play an
    important role in motivation. While
    experiencing these motivators can be highly
    effective, so can observing other experience
    some type of reinforcement or punishment.
    For example, if you see another student
    rewarded with extra credit for being to class
    on time, you might start to show up a few
    minutes early each day.
