Describe Behavioral and Social Learning Theories to New Teachers

What is social learning theory?

• Social learning theory is a theory that suggests people learn by reading books and studying alone.

• Social learning theory is a theory that suggests people learn by genetic inheritance.

• Social learning theory is a theory that suggests people learn by trial and error.

• Social learning theory is a psychological theory that suggests people learn from observing others and imitating their behavior.

Who developed social learning theory?

• Ivan Pavlov

• B.F. Skinner

• Albert Bandura

• Sigmund Freud

According to Robert Slavin, social learning theory focus on the of thought on action and of on thought.

• creativity, intuition

• effects, action

• Imitation, acceptance

• aggression, dominance

According to Robert Slavin, behavioral learning theories focus on the ways that or consequences of behavior change individuals’ behavior over time and the ways individuals model their behavior on that of others.

• individual, multiple

• true, false

• pleasurable, unpleasant

• students, teachers

According to Robert Slavin, pleasurable consequences are called​ (a)   ; unpleasant consequences are called ​ (b)   . We say that reinforcers are contingent on positive behaviors, which just means that students receive reinforcers only if they engage in desired behaviors.​

• reinforcers
• punishers
• good
• bad

Robert Slavin stated that (a)   described operant conditioning, in which reinforcers and punishers shape behavior.

• Ivan Pavlov

• Sigmund Freud

• John Watson

• B.F. Skinner

According to Robert Slavin, what Principles of Behavioral Learning statement is true about Shaping?

• Shaping can be primary or secondary, positive or negative.

• Shaping through timely feedback on each step of a task is an effective teaching practice based on behavioral learning theory.

• Shaping states that one way to increase less-enjoyed activities is to link them to more-enjoyed activities.

• Shaping involves weakening behavior by either introducing aversive consequences or removing reinforcers.

What four phases of learning through modeling did Albert Bandura note?​ ​ ​

How does behavioral learning theory explain behavior change?

• Behavioral learning theory explains behavior change through the influence of societal norms and cultural values.

• Behavioral learning theory explains behavior change through conscious decision-making and personal choice.

• Behavioral learning theory explains behavior change through conditioning and the role of external stimuli and reinforcement.

• Behavioral learning theory explains behavior change through genetics and inherited traits.

What are the differences between social learning theory and behavioral learning theory?

• The social learning theory and the behavioral learning theory both emphasize the role of external stimuli.

• The social learning theory and the behavioral learning theory both emphasize observational learning.

• The social learning theory focuses on the role of external stimuli, while the behavioral learning theory emphasizes observational learning.

• The social learning theory emphasizes observational learning, while the behavioral learning theory focuses on the role of external stimuli.
