Observational Learning - Answer- imitation, modeling
Albert Bandura's Doll Experiment - Answer- Two rooms: Bobo and Observation
connected by one-way glass
Parent goes into Bobo and child into Observation, parent beats up Bobo doll
A1: verbal reward
A2: physical reward
B1: verbal punishment
B2: physical punishment
A1 and A2 group children beat the doll
B1 and B2 group children do not touch the doll
4 Things Necessary for Observational Learning - Answer- 1) Attention
2) Retention
3) Production Process
4) Motivation
Piaget Theory - Answer- Equilibrium - idea that you know how things work in the
environment you're in and if you don't you're motivated to find out
Cognitive Conflict - 1) something cannot be categorized or 2) evidence contradicts a
belief
Disequilibrium - 1) Assimilation - already have a category but add new examples or 2)
Accommodation - creating a new category
4 Stages of Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory - Answer- 1) Sensory motor
2) Preoperational
3) Concrete Operational
4) Formal Operational
, Sensory Motor: Age - Answer- birth-2 years
Sensory Motor: Cognitive Markers - Answer- 1) lack object permanence - when you
can't see something, it stops existing (not true bc of train experiment)
2) differed imitation - remember things and imitate them (true bc of sticking your tongue
out at an infant)
Preoperational: Age - Answer- approx. 2 - 6 years
Peroperational: Cognitive Markers - Answer- 1) Animism
2) Egocentrism

Symbolism - Answer- two symbol systems are language and counting
Concrete Operational: Age - Answer- 7 to 12 years
Concrete Operational: Cognitive Markers - Answer- 1) Class inclusion- cannot hold
things in multiple categories (ex: bride thing)
2) Mental Seriation- able to order objects using a set of rules
3) Ability to Conserve
Formal Operational: Age - Answer- 12 and older
Formal Operational: Cognitive Markers - Answer- 1) Inductive Reasoning
2) Hypothetical Deductive Reasoning
3) Abstract Thought
Inductive Reasoning - Answer- using examples as evidence (ex: why does the sun
come up? because it came up yesterday day or every day of my life)
Hypothetical Deductive Reasoning - Answer- science; proofs
Abstract Thought - Answer- refer, using language, to an idea instead of a concrete thing
(ex: freedom or liberty)
