Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

186
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Steps in the Modeling Process

213
Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Modeling in Therapy

89
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.9K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

445
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Area of Science:

  • Computational linguistics
  • Cultural psychology
  • Media studies

Background:

  • Public culture, particularly media, influences perceptions of body weight.
  • The cognitive mechanisms by which individuals internalize public cultural meanings remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose neural word embeddings as a computational model for schema learning.
  • To empirically investigate how individuals learn and activate cultural schemas related to body weight from natural language data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized neural word embeddings, a computational text analysis technique.
  • Extracted four lower-order schemas (gender, moral, health, class) from news articles concerning body weight.
  • Quantified the association between body weight language and these schemas.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that neural word embeddings can model schema learning and activation.
  • Identified specific gender, moral, health, and class meanings associated with body weight in public discourse.
  • Quantified how body weight language "fills in the blanks" for these schemas.

Conclusions:

  • Schema learning is a key mechanism for integrating public culture into personal understanding.
  • Neural word embeddings offer a viable method for studying cultural learning and schema activation.
  • Findings highlight the potential for machine learning models to perpetuate societal biases present in language data.
