OBSERVATIONAL LEARNINGOBSERVATIONAL LEARNING
Theory coined by Albert Bandura. Also known as “__________________________”
_______________________________________________________________________.
For example: studying a professional sports figure in order to learn the techniques of that sport.
Learning through observation and/or imitation can have positive and negative impact on an individual’s behaviour depending on what or whom they choose to imitate.

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNINGOBSERVATIONAL LEARNING
According to Bandura, __________________________________________________________all play an important role in the learning process.
For example: we learn through observation, modeling (i.e. Bobo Doll experiment) and through mirror neurons. (clip)
Mirror Neurons are frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing something. They enable imitation, language learning, and empathy.

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING
PROCESS:
A__________ -- the individual notices something in the environment.
R__________-- the individual remembers what was noticed.
R__________ -- the individual produces an action that is a copy of what was noticed.
M__________ -- the environment delivers a consequence that changes the probability the behavior will be emitted again
Provide two positive and two negative examples of this process.

Some noteworthy terms that describe insight learning include: experiencing an “epiphany” eureka! “aha”
Insight learning suggests that it is important to
have time to absorb and think about new learning.

THE ANATOMY OF INSIGHT THE ANATOMY OF INSIGHT LEARNINGLEARNING
The experience of insight learning often involves
three factors:
1. Seemingly all possible problem-solving attempts have been exhausted and are unsuccessful.
2. ____________________________________.
3. A perfect solution to the problem is suddenly realized in a spontaneous way.

WOLFGANG KOHLERWOLFGANG KOHLER
Psychologist who conducted insight learning experiments on animals.
In one experiment, a chimpanzee was given two short sticks with a banana set out of reach.
After unsuccessfully attempting to reach the banana with the short sticks, the hungry chimpanzee gave up.
However, the chimpanzee later accidentally discovered that the sticks could be joined together to form one longer stick.
Just then, a spark of insight revealing a solution manifested, allowing the chimpanzee to successfully reach the banana.

the bell alone

the result of the pairing of unrelated stimuliSkinner put a rat in a cage that had a bar
that, when pushed, would drop a food pellet into the cage◦The rat randomly pushed the bar and got food◦The next time it pushed the bar, it got more food◦Eventually it pushed the bar constantly, knowing it
would get food

Using rewards to reinforce behaviours, and punishments to discourage them
Positive reinforcement: an event/condition that increases the likelihood that a certain behaviour will reoccur
Negative reinforcement: an event/condition that decreases the likelihood that a certain behaviour will reoccur
