Correct Answer - Option 2 : Observational learning
Observational learning:
- This theory was proposed by Albert Bandura.
- This theory states the fact that learning takes place by observing behaviors and imitating what others do.
- It is based on observation of other’s behavior to situations and then using them as a guide by the learner.
- Bandura emphasized that Observation and Modeling of other human behavior, emotions, and attitudes helps a lot in learning.
- According to Bandura, human behavior can be learned by observation through the Modeling Process.
Bandura explained his observational learning theory in 1961 with the application of the Bobo doll experiment and proved that learning can be done through observation and imitation.
- Bandura’s Bobo doll experiment proved that behavior can be reproduced through observation and imitation.
- He also proved that attention, retention, reciprocation, and motivation are necessary for observational learning.
Hence, it becomes clear that the observational learning concept is derived from the famous 'Bobo Doll' experiment.
-
Insightful learning: It emphasizes a sudden solution to the problem as insight doesn't rely on behavior or observation.
- Moral development:
-
Conditioned response: It emphasizes that behavior is learned by a repetitive association between the response and the stimulus.
