Correct Answer - Option 2 : Attention → Retention → Reproduction → Motivation
Albert Bandura, an American psychologist has propounded "Observational Learning Theory" in which he advocated that:
- cognitive and problem-solving skills can be learned by watching and imitating others.
- new behaviors and experiences are acquired by observing others in the immediate environment.
The Observational Learning Theory of 'Albert Bandura' emphasizes that the principles of social learning consist of four steps (respectively) including:
|
Attention
|
It refers to the process of paying attention to the model to observe in order to learn.
|
|
Retention
|
It refers to the process of recalling the learned activity for later use.
|
|
Reproduction
|
It refers to the process of performing or reproducing the learned action.
|
|
Motivation
|
It refers to the process of motivating learners to repeat the observational learning.
|
Hence, it could be concluded that Attention → Retention → Reproduction → Motivation is the correct sequence of four elements of observational learning.
