Social Cognitive Theory and Vicarious Learning -Albert Bandura- 

Do you have a fear of snakes or perhaps other animals, do you think that you could get over this fear by observing other people that had snake phobias. This is exactly the experiment that was conducted years ago to help the psychologist Albert Bandura understand the importance of behavioral models. 

The psychologist Albert Bandura discovered the importance of behavioral models when he was working with patients with snake phobias, he found that the patient's observation of former patients handling snakes was an effective therapy, the patience and treatment abstracted the information that others who were like them handled snakes with no ill effects. These patients considered that information and reflecting on their own behavior. 

Bandura found that these observations were more effective in treating their phobias than persuasion and observing the psychologists handle the snakes. 

Bandura's social learning theory stresses the importance of observational learning imitation and modeling, his theory integrates a continuous interaction between behaviors personal factors including cognition and the environment referred to as reciprocal causation model. 

However Bindura does not suggest that the three factors in the triadic model make equal contributions to behavior, the influence of behavior environment and person depends on which factor is strongest at any particular moment. 

In the model B or behavior refers to things like complexity duration skill etc. 

The E stands for environment and it's comprised of the situation roles models and relationships. 

P or person is comprised mainly of cognition but also other personal factors such as self-efficacy motives and personality. 

Here is a classroom example to help make this point more clear, in the classroom as a teacher presents a lesson to the class students reflect on what the teacher is saying, this is where the M iron it influences cognition a personal factor. Students who don't understand raise their hands to ask a question, this is where personal factors influence behavior, so the teacher reviews the point behavior influences the environment. 

Bandura's most famous experiment was the 1961 Bobo doll study briefly he made a video in which an adult woman was shown being aggressive to a Bobo doll hitting and shouting aggressive words, the film was shown to groups of children, afterwards the children were allowed to play in the room with the same doll, the children began imitating the model by beating up the doll and using similar aggressive words.
