5 Learning by Observation
Conditioning principles don’t explain all learning. Higher animals, especially humans, can learn without direct experience, through observational learning, by observing and imitating others. Preview Question 1: What is observational learning, and how is it enabled by mirror neurons?

6 Learning by Observation
The monkey on the right imitates the monkey on the left in touching the pictures in a certain order to obtain a reward. We learn all kinds of behaviors through modeling – observing and imitating a specific behavior.

7 Mirror Neurons Neuroscientists discovered mirror neurons – frontal lobe neurons that fire when performing certain actions or when observing another doing so – in the brains of animals and humans that are active during observational learning. PET scans of different brain areas shows that humans have a mirror neuron system that supports empathy and imitation.

8 Imitation Onset Learning by observation begins early in life. This 14-month-old child imitates the adult on TV in pulling a toy apart. Child Development, Photos Courtesy of A.N. Meltzoff and M. Hanuk. Meltzoff, A.N. (1998). Imitation of televised models by infants.

Bandura's Experiments Bandura's Bobo doll study (1961) indicated that individuals (children) learn through imitating others who receive rewards and punishments. Courtesy of Albert Bandura, Stanford University

10 Applications of Observational Learning
Bandura’s studies show that models (family, neighborhood or TV) may have good or bad effects. Businesses use behavior modeling to train to train communications, sales, and customer service skills. Trainees learn faster when both they are both told and shown skills.

11 Positive Observational Learning
Positive models can have good effects by modeling prosocial (positive, constructive, helpful) behavior . Models are most effective when their words and actions are consistent. Preview Question 2: What is the impact of prosocial modeling and of antisocial modeling? Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works

12 Antisocial Observational Learning
Observational learning can also have antisocial effects. Television, movies, and video games are a powerful source of observational learning and studies have found a link between viewing violent programs and aggressive behavior – the violence-viewing effect.

13 Antisocial Observational Learning
The violence-viewing effect stems from two factors – imitation and desensitization. Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works Glassman/ The Image Works Children modeling after pro wrestlers

Learning is a relatively permanent change in an organism’s behavior due to experience. Learning is more flexible in comparison to the genetically- programmed.
