During your initial flight training, your instructor allows you to get some actual instrument flying during a lesson that goes q
uite well. Later, when on your VFR cross country, you try to run through some low lying clouds and survive a scary situation. The reason you attempted to do this was from your prior experience. What describes the problem that contributed to this poor judgment?
Vicarious learning is learning that is borrowed from an indirect source such as hearing or observation rather than direct, hands-on preparation or instruction. While growing up we want to school where we received direct instruction and classes for preparation for the subject. Also, we had a life outside where we learned a lot by observing things, by observing peers, siblings, friends' behavior. We watched them working their deeds and daily routine work and even we learn the physical activity without involving them in the activity directly. Vicarious is also known as observational or learning through modeling when it occurs without direct reinforcement or punishment of the behavior.
