The earliest experiments on observational learning were performed by ______.
a. Ivan Pavlov
b. E. L. Thorndike
c. John B. Watson
d. Carl Warden
b
. The first studies of observational learning ______.
a. proved beyond a doubt that animals learn by observing models
b. proved that only higher animals learn by observing models
c. suggested that some animals can learn by observing models under special circumstances
d. failed to find evidence of observational learning in animals
d
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
. Learning is a change in behavior due to experience. In observational learning, the experience
consists
of _______.
a. observing events and their consequences
b. imitating a model
c. vicariously participating in events in one's environment
d. sharing the experiences of another person or animal
a
If an observer looks on as a model's behavior is reinforced, we speak of _______.
a. vicarious reinforcement
b. model reinforcement
c. observer reinforcement
d. imitation
a
Social observational learning may be defined as _________.
a. imitation of a model's behavior
b. a change in an observer's behavior
c. a change in behavior due to observing a model
d. a variation of operant learning
, c
According to the author of your text, observational learning involves observing
a. events and their consequences.
b. the behavior of a model.
c. the effects of a model's behavior.
d. and imitating a model's actions
a
Herbert and Harsh compared the behavior of cats that had observed a model perform an act 30
times with cats that had observed only 15 performances. They found that _________.
a. the extra 15 observances made no difference
b. the first 15 observations had a greater impact than the next 15
c. cats that observed 30 performances did substantially better than those that observed 15
d. cats that observed 15 performances actually did better than those that observed 30
c
Ellen Levy and her colleagues found that children would imitate a model's reinforced
preferences for _______.
a. pets
b. pictures
c. dolls
d. cartoon characters
b
Kanfer and Marston found that college students imitated the reinforced word choices of models.
In their study, the observers _______.
a. watched a video of models talking
b. chatted with models in a bar
c. received text messages written by models
d. listened to models on a tape
d
In a study by Hopper and colleagues, some observers watched a model slide a door and
retrieve a desired item. Other observers saw the door slide in the absence of a model, revealing
the desired item. The latter procedure is called the __________ condition.
a. asocial
b. model-free
c. ghost
