Social Learning Theory
Classical conditioning (Ivan Petrovich Pavlov)
It is a type conditioning in which an individual responds to some
stimulus that would not ordinarily produce such a response.
Operant conditioning (B.F. Skinner)
It is a type of conditioning in which desired voluntary behavior leads
to a reward or prevents a punishment.

process. Such processes involve perceiving, imaging, thinking,
reasoning and decision making.
Social Learning Theory (Albert Bandura)
It is a view that people can learn through observation and direct
experience.
Process in social Learning:
1. Attention Process: Learning through observing model, when individual recognize and pay
attention to its critical features.
2. Retention process: It states: How well individual remembers the model, when it is no longer
available.
3. Motor Reproduction process: It states: focus on demonstration of the modeled activities after
confronting the new behavior.
