Question

Cheryl is trying to teach her son to do the laundry by having him watch her. According to observational learning theory, to be effective what must occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

To be effective, Learning through observation requires keen attentive abilities. This model does not meet reinforcement to occur, but instead, requires a social model such a friend, parent, teacher with surroundings.

Explanation:

This theory needs an individual learning a behavior by observing another individual and that individual serving as a model through whom other individuals learn the behavior. It suggests that an individual’s environment, cognition and behavior all incorporate and ultimately determine how the individual functions and model. There is a reciprocal determinism in which the environment can influence people’s behavior and vice versa.
