1 Albert Bandura’s Observational Learning/Social Learning Theory

2 Human beings are NOT mechanistic robots.
We do not need to always be conditioned to learn things. Some times we just absorb. We learn by watching and imitating our role models. Who have YOUR role models been over the course of your life, and what have you learned from watching/imitating them? Get specific. Identify and describe specific ideas, attitudes, fashions, habits, ways of thinking, behaving, and speaking that you have picked up through observational learning. Which ones have been positive and which ones have been negative influences on you? Write about it here:

3 Monkey see, monkey do. Observational learning: learning by observing others. “We are, in truth, more than half what we are by imitation.” –Lord Chesterfield Catch-phrases, hem lengths, ceremonies, foods, traditions, vices, and fads all spread by one person copying another. What else?

4 Mirror Neurons Frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing actions or when observing another person doing so; an inner simulation.
