occurs in social settings where a learner views a model \u2014 a parent, teacher, or peer \u2014 displaying a behavior, and then the learner adopts that behavior as their own. Learners can acquire behaviors through observation even without direct intent from the model, which can lead to the\u00a0adoption of inappropriate or undesirable behavior from unsatisfactory modeling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Albert-Bandura\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Albert Bandura<\/a>, one of the psychologists who proposed the Social Learning Theory, children perpetually learn through observation. Bandura also concluded that children\u2019s behaviors are informed by their environment, and that\u00a0aggression, specifically, can be learned through observation.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Cognitive Theory<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Expounding on the Social Learning Theory, Bandura also proposed the Social Cognitive Theory, which places a stronger emphasis on mental processes required for learning new behaviors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the Social Cognitive Theory, for a learner to acquire a behavior through observation, four conditions must be met:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1701109701080_45352\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-left sqs-text-ready\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1285\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1284\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1283\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1282\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1281\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1701109701080_61904\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2891  alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"411\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/boy-with-autism-writing-in-packet-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Attention<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">First, in observational learning, the learner must acknowledge and have their attention directed to the model. Bandura found that learners generally give more attention to models with appearances similar to themselves. Models might also receive more attention when they are given rewards for their behavior or have social prominence.<\/p>\n<h3>Retention<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Once the model has the learner\u2019s attention, the learner must remember the behavior that the model displayed. If a learner cannot recall a behavior, the likelihood that they will replicate it becomes diminished.<\/p>\n<h3>Reproduction<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">After seeing and retaining the behavior of a model, the learner must be fully capable of reproducing what they witness.<\/p>\n<h3>Motivation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Finally, a learner must also have the motivation to repeat the behavior. Despite their attention, retention, and ability to reproduce the behavior, a learner is unlikely to imitate a model without motivation to do so. Motivating factors can be both positive and negative. For example, understanding that a model received punishment for displaying a behavior can discourage a learner from displaying that same behavior.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bobo Doll Experiment<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">One of the contributions to Bandura\u2019s Social Cognitive Theory included his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Bobo-doll-experiment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cBobo doll\u201d experiment<\/a>. The experiment began with two initial scenarios where children were individually introduced to an adult model in an isolated room. In one corner of the room, the child had access to engaging activities. In an opposite corner of the room, the adult model received a toy set, a wobbling \u201cBobo\u201d doll, and a mallet. The experimenters gave the children 10 minutes in the room and told them that they only had permission to play with the toys in their own corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1701109701080_64962\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-left sqs-text-ready\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1294\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1293\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1292\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1291\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1290\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1701109701080_72642\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<p class=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2893  alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"441\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/little-girl-smiling-and-laughing-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/>During the first scenario, the adult model acted verbally and physically aggressive toward the Bobo doll. In the second scenario, the children were introduced into an identical room with a passive adult model. This model played with the toy set for the entire 10 minutes and did not interact with the Bobo doll.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For the experiment\u2019s next stage, the children were allowed to play in another room with toys, but after two minutes, they were told they could no longer play with the toys. Instead, they were allowed to return to the first room, where they now had access to the Bobo doll without an adult model. The study found that the children with exposure to aggressive adult models were more likely to be physically and verbally aggressive toward the doll.<\/p>\n<h2>Teaching Observation Skills to Children With ASD<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">As children diagnosed with autism may have difficulty establishing new behaviors based purely on observation, it is imperative that they have a supplemental structure for learning new skills and behaviors. While children with autism may struggle to learn through observation, this does not mean they are incapable of doing so. There is limited research on teaching observational learning to children with autism; however, educators may be able to implement a few strategies to enhance observational learning.<\/p>\n<h3>Sustained Attention<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">In accordance with Bandura\u2019s Social Cognitive Theory, behavior adoption begins with attention. Educators can reward children for their extended attention to reinforce this behavior. As the children become more attentive, the expected duration of their concentration may be extended.<\/p>\n<h3>Generalized Imitation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Although observational learning and generalized imitation differ, allowing children to watch adults or peers and prompting them to imitate can lead to positive results. With positive reinforcement, the child may be able to imitate a model without verbal instruction, which is more representative of true observational learning.<\/p>\n<h3>Differentiating Correct and Incorrect Behaviors<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Assisting a child with ASD to determine\u00a0 whether a model\u2019s behavior is correct or incorrect may also be beneficial in the development of observation skills. In this technique, the educator may allow the child to answer whether a model\u2019s action is correct or incorrect by pointing to color-coded indicators. At first, the child will likely require verbal prompting for their answer, but over time, the educator may stop prompting as the child begins to accurately categorize the model\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n<h2>Entrenamiento de prueba discreta (DTT)<\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2895  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"411\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/girl-looking-through-picture-book-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1701109701080_75079\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-right sqs-text-ready\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1303\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1302\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\">\n<figure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1301\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1300\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1712127318472_1299\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1701109701080_79454\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii=\"{&quot;topLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;topRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomLeft&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0},&quot;bottomRight&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:0.0}}\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\">\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/appliedabc.com\/what-is-discrete-trial-training-in-aba-therapy\">Entrenamiento de prueba discreto<\/a> programs aim to help children diagnosed with autism learn skills and behaviors that they may have difficulty gaining on their own solely through observation.
