Social learning Theory

Social Learning Theory   Behavior of person can be influenced in many ways. In the present example, I can influence the behavior of my junior in the college. The junior used to copy the behavior of their senior to get success in the life. The observer (Junior) will imitate the model’s behavior (senior, I), if the model has talent and intelligence. Individuals are more likely to adopt a modeled behavior if the model is similar to the observer. If the model (senior) is rewarded then the observer is more likely to perform the behavior and in the reverse case that If the model is punished than the observer is less likely to repeat the behavior. Learning by observation involves four different processes such as attention, retention, motor production and motivation/ reinforcement. Coding modeled behavior into labels, words or images results in better retention than just observing the behavior. Model behavior Attention and retention account for learning a model’s behavior. The observer w

Classical conditioning

Classical conditioning Classical conditioning is a type of learning that had a major influence on the thought known as behaviorism. The Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov develops the concept. Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. Classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. There are different types of stimulus and different type response such as UCR (Unconditioned Response), CS (Conditioned Stimulus), and CR (Conditioned Response) and UCS (Unconditioned stimulus). The unconditioned stimulus is naturally triggering a response, for example one of my friend feel hunger when he smell one of his favorite food that is Italian Pizza. Feeling hunger in the response of the smell of food is an example of the unconditioned stimulus (Staats, A. W., & Staats, C. K. (1958)). The conditioned stimulus is an earlier neutral stimulus but a
