  5. Bandura’s Social Learning Theory • The idea through simple observation, people can learn • The idea of internal mental states • Just because something is learned that doesn’t mean behavior will change

  6. Bandura’s Steps • Attention: anything that distracts you will affect observational learning and one must pay attention • Retention: the ability to store information and pull it up later is important to observational learning • Reproduction: once information has been taken in its time to perform the behavior observed • Motivation: rewarding in order to get the observational learns to imitate behavior
