What is social learning?

• Learning that occurs through observing the behaviour of others

• Using experience and understanding to solve problems relating to the whole skill.

• The use of reinforcement to ensure that correct responses are repeated.

• Learning by association with others.

What is insight learning?

• Learning that occurs through observing the behaviour of others

• Using experience and understanding to solve problems relating to the whole skill.

• The use of reinforcement to ensure that correct responses are repeated.

What are the processes of observational learning?

• Attention, Retention, Motor production, Motivation

• Forming, Storming, Norming & Performing

• Input, Decision-Making & Output

• Intra-Psychological Learning & Inter-Psychological Learning

What is a learning plateau?

• A period where there is steady improvement in performance

• A period where there is rapid improvement in performance

• A period where there is rapid decline in performance

• A period where there is no improvement in performance
