== '''Social learning theory''' ==
== Acronym ==

== Alternate name(s)==
Observational Learning Theory
'''Note:''' SLT is used interchangeably with Social Cognitive Learning

Human Behavior
== Main independent construct(s)/factor(s) ==
1. Cognitive Factors ( also called Personal Factors) -> Knowledge, Expectations, Attitudes
2. Environmental Factors -> Social Norms, Access in Community, Influence on Others (ability to change own environment)
3. Behavioral Factors -> Skills, Practice, Self-efficacy
== Concise description of theory ==
Learning theories attempt to explain how people think and what factors determine their behaviour. Social Learning Theory (SLT) is a category of learning theories which is grounded in the belief that human behaviour is determined by a three-way relationship between cognitive factors, environmental influences, and behaviour. The theory is derived from the work of Gabriel Tarde (1843-1904) which proposed that social learning occurred through four main stages: close contact, imitation of superiors, understanding of concepts and role model behavior. The term ‘social’ in SLT refers to the context within which learning occurs.
Two types of behavior are identified in learning, respondent and operant. Respondent behaviour is learned through prior cues and is generally thought of as emotional. Behaviour that changes the environment, thereby producing rewards or punishments for the actor, is termed operant. The component processes underlying observational learning are:
1.'''Attention''', including modelled events (distinctiveness, affective valence, complexity, prevalence, functional value) and observer characteristics (sensory capacities, arousal level, perceptual set, past reinforcement),
2.'''Retention''', including symbolic coding, cognitive organization, symbolic rehearsal, motor rehearsal),
3.'''Motor Reproduction''', including physical capabilities, self-observation of reproduction, accuracy of feedback, and
4.'''Motivation''', including external, vicarious and self reinforcement.
Because it (learning) encompasses attention, memory and motivation, SLT spans both cognitive and behavioural frameworks. The principles associated with SLT are as follows:
1.The highest level of observational learning is achieved by first organizing and rehearsing the modelled behaviour symbolically and then enacting it overtly. Coding modelled behaviour into words, labels or images results in better retention than simply observing.
2.Individuals are more likely to adopt a modelled behaviour if it results in outcomes they value.
3.Individuals are more likely to adopt a modelled behaviour if the model is similar to the observer and has admired status and the behaviour has functional value.
