The social learning theory, as proposed by Albert Bandura, states that most human behavior is learned through observation and modelling. This type of learning is thought to reveal the ability of individuals to learn new information without necessarily demonstrating the behavior. Which of the following describes the four conditions for successful modeling?

  1. Distinctiveness, attention, reproduction, and mental imaging
  2. Incentives, cognitive organization, retention, and motivation
  3. Perseverance, functional value, retention, and attention
  4. Attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation
Explanation
Answer: D - Attention notes the factors involved that may increase or decrease an individual’s perception. Retention explains the manner in which a person remembers what they observed. Reproduction is the method of duplicating the image. The last condition involves motivation or a good reason to imitate the behavior.
