A young boy is left at home with his older brother while their parents drop off the family car for repairs. While the parents are out, the older brother prepares lunch for the young boy. Then the older brother takes the younger brother outside where he entertains him by building several fires with small twigs. Explain how the older brother's conduct is: • Prosocial modeling • Antisocial modeling
?
theory of the mind
An understanding that other people have different thoughts and feelings (often associated w/ autism spectrum disorders)
How does modeling jive with hypocrisy?
It doesn't, when a child is exposed to a hypocrite, they imitate it
Explain how Bandura's Bobo doll experiment illustrates each of the following: • Modeling • Mirror neurons
Modeling can be described as the behavior of the child as he or she imitates the adult. Mirror neurons on the child's brain presumably would fire the same way when watching the adult or when imitating the adult's behavior.
antisocial effects
Observational learning can have adverse effect
violence-viewing effect
The effect that watching TV violence tends to desensitize people to cruelty and prime them to respond aggressively when provoked
When is prosocial modeling most effective? a. When the model acts in a way consistent with the prosocial lesson b. When the model verbally emphasizes the prosocial lesson but acts as she chooses c. When the model is predisposed to the prosocial conduct d. When the observer has a close personal relationship with the model e. When the model is well-known
a
Which of the following is the best synonym for social learning? a. Observational learning b. Modeling c. Mirror neuron imitation d. Prosocial model e. Imitation
a
Which of the following is the most likely consequence of the brain's tendency to vicariously experience something we observe? a. Actual physical injury b. The risk of misremembering our own actions c. Interference with associative learning d. The elimination of classically conditioned responses to stimuli e. A confusion between reinforcers and rewards in an operant conditioning setting
b?
Which of the following processes is the best term for explaining how we learn languages? a. Biofeedback b. Discrimination c. Modeling d. Insight e. Creativity
c?
overimitate
children 2-5, copy even irrelevant adult actions
Bandura's famous Bobo doll experiment is most closely associated with which of the following? a. Latent learning b. Classical conditioning c. Operant conditioning d. Cognitive maps e. Observational learning
e
mirror neurons
frontal lobe neurons that some scientistics believe fire when preforming certain actions or when observing another doing so. The brain's mirroring of another's actions may enable imitation and empathy
