Topic 3.9: Social, Cognitive, and Neurological Factors in Learning
Learning Objective: 3.9.A
Explain how social learning applies to behavior and mental processes.
Essential Knowledge: 3.9.A.1
Social learning theory proposes that learning can occur by observation and does not have to involve personal experience with a consequence (vicarious conditioning). Learning can occur by copying the behavior of models. The more similar a model is, the more likely the behavior is to be learned.
Learning Objective: 3.9.B
Explain how cognitive factors in learning apply to behavior and mental processes.
Essential Knowledge: 3.9.B.1
Insight learning occurs when the solution to a problem occurs without any association, consequence, or model being present.
Essential Knowledge: 3.9.B.2
Latent learning occurs when information is learned without reinforcement but is not immediately evident. Latent learning is often demonstrated by cognitive maps.
