PSY 2403-002 Lecture 11Bandura & Mischel: Social Cognitive Learning TheoryI. Backgrounda. Learning principle must account fori. Thinking and regulating behaviorii. Interactions with othersb. Reciprocal Determinism i. All three factors are NOT equalII. Structure-Self Systemsa. Cognitive Structurei. Reference mechanismb. Cognitive Social Person Variablesi. Encoding- “How we see things”ii. Expectancies- “ What we think will happen”1. Behavior-outcome expectancyin the absence of an information about a specific situation, one tends to create “expectancies” based on past experience with similar situations.2. Stimulus-outcome expectancy if event 1 occurs, then event 2 will likely follow3. Self-efficacy expectancy what that person is actually ABLE to do4. Perceived Self-efficacy what a person THINKS he or she can do in various situations.iii. Subjective Values- “ What is worth having or Doing”iv. Self-regulatory systems and plans-“How do we attain our goals?”1. Intrinsic reinforcement2. Extrinsic reinforcementv. Competencies- “What a person knows what he or she is capable of doing” Observational skills we learnThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.

Importance of goal settingc. Immediate feedbackIV. Observational Learninga. Model- A movie, person, advertisement etc.b. Processes governing observational Learningi. Attentional aspects of the environment that influence attention1. Physical Characteristics2. Sensory capacity (Blind people behave differently to stimuli)ii. Retentional Processes What is learned by observation is of no value if not retained.1. Experiences are stored “Imaginally or Verbally”a. A cognitive picture of what we experienced (Imaginally)b. Or we retain the words that describe the experiencec. These make the “Delayed Model” possible information gained by observational learning is first translated into behavior long after the time it has been learnediii. Motor Reproduction ProcessesBehavioral productioniv. Motivational Processes “No matter how much one has learned, and no matter what one’s capabilities are, Learning will not be translated into performance unless there is an incentive to do so.1. Reinforcement- either direct or vicariously, provides the information necessary for the development of “Effective Behavior-Outcome Expectancies”a. Bandura’s Bobo Doll observational learning of
