Social Learning Theory
The observer must be able to remember the behavior that they have observed to then reproduce that behavior immediately or after some time has passed.
Retention
Capacity of STM?
7 (plus/minus 2)
Duration of sensory memory?
.25-.50 sec
The learner must focus on the model in order to learn a behavior. Can be influenced by certain factors, including the model’s attractiveness, authority, or level of entertainment
Attention
Capacity of Long Term Memory
Potentially unlimited
Strategy for encoding more information but taking lots of info and putting it into larger pieces of info
chunking
Learners must want to replicate the behavior that they have observed. They must understand the potential outcome if they repeat the behavior – was the model rewarded or punished for their behavior?
Motivation
What must happen for information to be stored in Short Term Memory from Sensory?
Attention
This term describes when new information replaces old info in STM
Displacement
The individual must have the physical and/or mental ability to replicate the behavior. What aspect of SLT is this?
Potential
The best way of prolonging the storage duration of information beyond its limit in short-term memory is through _________
Rehearsal
Part of HM's brain that was removed
Hippocampus
This term means that we don't have to personally experience a reward or a punishment for a behavior; we can watch another person experience it and then learn through observation.
Vicarious Reinforcement
Memories of general facts/knowledge about the world
Semantic memories
What is the function of the hippocampus?
Moving memories from STM to LTM
