Practice question · Sort into groups
Sort each factor by whether it is one of Bandura's four observational-learning processes or NOT one of them.
Groups: One of the four processes · Not one of the four
- Direct reinforcement of the observer
- Physical maturation into adulthood
- Retention
- Motivation
- Attention
Hints
- The four are attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.
- Direct reinforcement is exactly what Bandura showed was NOT required.
Show the answer
One of the four processes: Attention, Retention, Motivation
Not one of the four: Direct reinforcement of the observer, Physical maturation into adulthood
Why
Attention, retention, and motivation are three of the four processes (reproduction is the fourth); direct reinforcement and adult maturation are not among them. Direct reinforcement is a tempting inclusion precisely because it is the assumption Bandura overturned.
