Key Components of Observational Learning

Hard Unit 4: Learning Observational Learning

In the context of observational learning, researchers have identified various processes involved in the acquisition and performance of behaviors through the observation of others. Albert Bandura’s Bobo Doll experiment is a foundational study in this field, demonstrating how children can learn aggressive behaviors by watching a model. Considering this research, which of the following statements accurately describes a key component of observational learning?

It primarily relies on direct reinforcement for learning.

Attention is a crucial factor for effective modeling.

Retention of observed behavior is not necessary for learning.

Motivation does not influence the reproduction of learned behaviors.

Observational learning occurs without any cognitive processes.
