Document Summary
Chapter 11: social learning and memory (lecture 8) to copy. Not reliably predictable in actions after observational learning, not like classical conditioning or operant conditioning. Nothing compels an observer to copy any given model, and there are more ways than one: copying: consists of replicating what one observes another doing. Children can learning a great deal by copying the actions of others. Experiment albert bandura; wanted to know if parents" aggressive behaviour might affect actions of their children. Had two children groups one that observed adults beating up bobo doll" while the other group of children observed adults playing quietly with toys. Copying can involve replication of actions observed, or performance of new actions leading to observed outcome. True imitation: copying in which motor acts are replicated (exact actions) Emulation: copying that replicates an outcome without replication specific motor acts. Two-action test: a technique developed to investigate imitation ability.
