  1. Learning Chapter

  2. Observational Learning Module 21

  3. Albert Bandura and Observational Learning Module 21: Observational Learning

  4. Observational Learning • Learning by observing others

  5. Model • Person observed in observational learning

  6. Modeling • Process of observing and imitating a specific behavior

  7. Albert Bandura (1925- ) • American psychologist who has done major studies in observational learning • Studies the consequences a model has on subjects • Bobo Doll experiments

  8. 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.

  9. Bobo Doll Experiments

  10. Bobo Doll Experiments

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

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

  13. Bandura’s Bobo Dolls • Insert “Bandura’s Bobo Doll Experiment” Video #11 from Worth’s Digital Media Archive for Psychology. • Instructions for importing the video file can be found in the ‘Readme’ file on the CD-ROM.

  14. Observational Learning in Everyday Life Module 21: Observational Learning

  15. Antisocial/Prosocial Behavior • Antisocial behavior - negative, destructive unhelpful behavior • Prosocial behavior – positive, constructive, helpful behavior • Both types of behavior can be modeled effectively.

  16. Observational Learning of Violence From the Media Module 21: Observational Learning

  17. APA Commission on Violence and Youth • Higher levels of violence on TV are associated with increased acceptance of aggressive attitudes and behavior • Children’s exposure to TV violence has harmful, lifelong consequences

  18. APA Commission on Violence and Youth • Portrayals of women as victims and minorities as aggressive lead more violence • Viewing TV programming and commercials affects our concept of reality.
