Defintion of SLT

Vicarious reinfrocement

• The process when an observer associates themselves with a role model and wants to be like them.
• Role model = people we identify with
• e.g. children

• People learn behaviours by observing and imitating others, however only if that behaviour is seen to be rewarded.

Identification

1. Attention - learning can only take place if a model is

attended to. (COGNITIVE)

1. Retention - how well the behaviour is remembered. (COGNITIVE)
2. Motor reproduction- some of the behaviour that has been learnt will be imitated (BEHAVIOURAL)
3. Motivation - the will to perform the behaviour, which is often determined by whether the behaviour was rewarded or punished. (COGNITIVE)

The role of mediational processes
