Practice question · Put in order
Order Bandura's four processes required for observational learning.
- Reproduction: the observer is capable of performing the action
- Attention: the observer actually notices the model's behavior
- Motivation: the observer has a reason to actually perform it
- Retention: the observer remembers what was observed
Hints
- You cannot remember what you never noticed, or perform what you cannot recall.
- Motivation is what finally converts a stored, reproducible behavior into an actual performance.
Show the answer
- Attention: the observer actually notices the model's behavior
- Retention: the observer remembers what was observed
- Reproduction: the observer is capable of performing the action
- Motivation: the observer has a reason to actually perform it
Why
Attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation must occur in sequence: noticing precedes remembering, which precedes being able to perform, which precedes actually choosing to perform. Skipping motivation is why a learned behavior may never be shown.
