The Social Learning Theory Approach can be defined as learning behaviour from observing other people and how they are reinforced. This approach represents a shift from radical behaviourism as conditioning can’t account for all learning. The mental and cognitive processes play an important role in the Social Learning Theory as it is based on storing the behaviour along with the positive reinforcement we have seen in our memory and learning to do the behaviour this way‚ expecting the same reinforcement

Explain the Social Learning Theory‚ making reference to two relevant studies. By Tanisha Sabhaney Behaviouristic theories of learning are essentially theories of conditioning and emphasize the role of reinforcement in learning. One of the mot predominant theories is Albert Bandura’s social learning theory‚ which assumes that.

McShane (2014)‚ social learning theory “explain[s] deviant behavior by emphasizing reinforcement and discriminative stimuli.” (p. 184). More specifically‚ social learning theory states that deviant behavior is most likely to supported in a social environment that reinforces said behavior. Additionally‚ a major point of the social learning theory is that‚ on the one hand‚ behavior is shaped to seek out pleasure while‚ on the other hand‚ avoiding pain.

Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which a potent stimulus obtains the ability to evoke an innate response that was originally elicited by a neutral stimulus. In classical conditioning‚ a UR is an event that occurs naturally in response to some stimuli. On the other hand‚ a UR is the stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without learning. A CS in classical conditioning is an originally neutral stimulus that‚ through learning‚ comes to be associated with some unlearned
