Question 1: Define Social Learning Theory in your own words.

Answer: Social Learning Theory is the idea that people can learn new behaviors by watching others and imitating their actions, especially if those actions are rewarded.

Question 2: Describe a real-life scenario where a child learns to tie shoelaces by watching a parent.

Answer: A child observes their parent tying shoelaces and then imitates the same actions to learn how to do it themselves.

Question 3: Identify and explain two key factors that influence whether someone will imitate a behaviour according to Social Learning Theory.

Answer: Two factors are: 1) The model's status or whether the person being watched is someone admired or respected. 2) Whether the observed behaviour is rewarded or punished, which influences if the behaviour will be imitated.

Question 4: Explain the term 'model' in the context of Social Learning Theory.

Answer: A 'model' is a person whose behaviour is observed and potentially copied by others.

Question 5: Describe how reinforcement affects learning in Social Learning Theory.

Answer: Reinforcement increases the likelihood of imitating a behaviour because it shows that the behaviour is rewarded or beneficial, encouraging others to copy it.

Question 6: Imagine a scenario where a student watches a peer being praised for helping in class. How might this influence the student’s behaviour?

Answer: The student might be more likely to help others in the future because they saw that helping was praised and rewarded.

Question 7: Draw a simple diagram showing the process of Social Learning Theory, including the stages: observation, imitation, reinforcement.

Answer: A correct diagram would show a flowchart with boxes labeled 'Observation', 'Imitation', and 'Reinforcement' connected with arrows, illustrating the cycle of learning.

Question 8: Sketch a scene where a child observes an older sibling playing a video game and then tries to imitate the gameplay. Label the key parts of your drawing.

Answer: The sketch should depict a child watching an older sibling playing a video game, with an arrow pointing to the child attempting to play the same game. Labels should include 'Model', 'Observation', 'Imitation', and 'Outcome'.

Question 9: What role does imitation play in Social Learning Theory, and why is it important?

Answer: Imitation is the main way people learn new behaviours by copying others. It is important because it allows learning without direct experience, especially through observing rewards or punishments.

Question 10: Identify a situation where someone might learn a behaviour without being directly rewarded or punished. Explain how Social Learning Theory accounts for this.

Answer: A person might learn a new dance move by watching a video online. According to Social Learning Theory, they learn by observing the move, even if they are not rewarded or punished for it directly.
