EDUC 701 Social Cognitive Theory (Ch.4)- Questions and
Answers
observational learning Correct Ans-processes include attention, retention, production, and
motivation
attention Correct Ans-student attention is directed by accentuating relevant task features,
subdividing complex activities into parts, using competent models, and demonstrating
usefulness of modeled behaviors
retention Correct Ans-retention is increased by rehearsing information to be learned,
coding in visual and symbolic form, and related new material to information previously stored
in memory
production Correct Ans-behaviors produced are compared to one's conceptual (mental)
representation, feedback helps to correct deficiencies
motivation Correct Ans-consequences of modeled behaviors inform observers of
functional value and appropriateness. Consequences motivates by creating outcome
expectations and raising self-efficacy.
cognitive modeling Correct Ans-incorporates modeled explanation and demonstration
with verbalization of the model's thoughts and reasons for performing given actions.
, EDUC 701 Social Cognitive Theory (Ch.4)- Questions and
Answers
goal setting Correct Ans-involves establishing a standard or objective to serve as the aim of
one's actions
purpositive behiorism Correct Ans-learning is more than the strengthening of responses to
stimuli but a focus on molar behavior
molar behavior Correct Ans-a large sequence of goal-directed behavior
specificity Correct Ans-incorporates specific standards of performance
social cognitive theory Correct Ans-stresses the idea that much human learning occurs in a
social environment by observing others, people acquire knowledge
triadic reciprocity Correct Ans-reciprocal interactions among behavioral, environmental,
and personal variables such as cognitions
perceived self-efficacy Correct Ans-belief about one's capabilities to organize and
implement actions necessary to learn or perform behaviors at designated levels
enactive learning Correct Ans-learning by doing
vicarious learning Correct Ans-learning by observing others
