    Observational Learning: Is Also Called Imitation or Modeling Is Learning

    Uploaded by

    Mahmud Abdullahi Sarki
    Observational learning occurs when a person imitates another's behavior after observing them. Ivan Pavlov showed that learning happens from what we see and causes changes in behavior. B.F. Skinner argued that consequences outside the body, whether positive or negative, influence behavior changes. Both scholars contributed to understanding what learning entails. Memory involves taking in, storing, and retrieving information. Atkinson and Shiffrin's theory proposes that memory has three stages - sensory memory holds information briefly, short-term store retains information for seconds, and long-term store maintains information from minutes to years through rehearsal.

    Observational Learning: Is also called imitation or modeling is learning

    that occurs when a person observes and imitates someone’s behavior.


    The Differences between Ivan Pavlov and B.F Skinners is that, Ivan
    Pavlov trying to show that we learn from what we see, anytime you are
    conditioned to get something in the natural stimuli, you will actually act
    towards it, means it will change your behaviour while B.F Skinner on
    other hand is saying that there is consequence either negative or positive
    outside our body that has an effect towards changing our behaviour. Once
    you see something you know you will get something (Ivan Pavlov). Once I
    do something I will get a reward or punishment. (B.F Skinners). We can
    see that both the two scholars tried to contribute towards what learning is
    all about.
    Critically evaluate Atkinson and Shiffrin's theory of memory.
    What is Memory? One simple definition of memory that makes sense to
    patients, families, and caregivers is “the ability to take in, store, and
    retrieve information.”
    1. Sensory memory, which stores information for less than a quarter of
    a second (250 mss); sensory memory deal with sensory organs, see,
    hear, touch, smell, taste
    2. short-term store, which holds information for a few seconds; like
    dialling
    3. long-term store, which holds information for anything from minutes
    to years, which happens as result of rehearsal.
