Summary: Chapter 2 Chapter two dives into the concept of learning. As mentioned in the previous chapter, learning is the study of changes in behavior produced by experience, so when studying learning it is vital to examine how events in the environment change an individual’s behavior. Many scientists consider learning to be a natural phenomenon, they make their case based on four assumptions. The first assumption being that natural phenomena’s do not just happen, but instead they are caused as the result of some other event. The second assumption is that causes precede effects.
Like behaviorism, social learning attempts to enlighten us as to why people act the way they do.
The social learning theory is “a social learning
The significance of the Battle of Britain and the attack of Pearl Harbor contribute to World War II in many ways. The battle of Britain was mainly persuade due to the “Operation of Sea Lion,” Germans goal to invade Britain and to establish air superiority. Adding on, the famous Pearl harbor was in conflict with Japan after rising tension escalated and Japan made the first move into war. Therefore, Pearl harbor was a big impact of WWII because U.S finally entered the war after Japan tried to cripple the Pacific Fleet. As for Britain, Germany was trying to successfully knock Britain out of the war for Europe to be German-occupied.
The novel Hiroshima by John Hersey demonstrates how we can learn from our past to grow our communities in the spirit of a hopeful future by coming together as one. Together people are a lot stronger. In the book Hiroshima, after the bomb hit, ten thousand victims of the bombing invaded the Red Cross Hospital where Dr. Sasaki worked. Although there was not enough equipment nor people help with all the victims, Dr. Sasaki and the other doctors were trying their best to attend and treat every wounded person.
The Maidu are a tribelet of the Mechoopda, that are indigenous to the Northern California central valley region. Prior to 1848 and the colonization of miners and rancherias, the Maidu roamed the lands south of what is now known as Chico. They lived, hunted, and gathered within a 6 to 12 mile radius, of what was later known as Chico Rancheria (see map). Possibly 260,000 aboriginals lived on the land. Bean reports that the aboriginal population of California was six times the national average.
First, the Social Learning theory is defined as when people or in this case juveniles learn from each other from either observation, imitation, or modeling. The version of this theory
There are several models that explain why people commit crime. One area of study, learning theories of crime, maintains the assumption that crime is not inherent, but rather crime is learned from family, friends, or other peers. One example of a learning theory is Social Learning Theory, which was developed by Ronald Akers in 1973. This theory explains the process that individuals go through in learning deviant or criminal behavior. It was developed as a response to and an expansion of previous theories.
In the article, New Media and Social Memory, written by Richard Rinehart, the thesis is how new media art can be last for a long time. Also, he talks about the challenge of preserve the digital forms of new media art. He uses a lot of example not only to discuss the issue of social memory, but also to prove some of his arguments. The primary purpose of the work is to show the public what is social memory and how it works. First of all, he breaks the social memory into two parts in order to be more clearly.
At some point in our lives, we have learned by observing the behaviors of others. Observation can play a very important role in determining what and how we learn. It can have positive or negative effects on one 's development and behavior, especially in children. This is demonstrated in the social learning theory.
Social and emotional learning is an important part of a child’s education. Some would argue that it is slightly more important than the academic learning done by children. Social and emotional learning is what helps children build relationships and connections to help them become established adults in the future. Social learning is made up of the knowledge of skills that you have when interacting in a social setting with someone. For example, knowing what is appropriate behaviour from one setting to the next is social learning.
In the early stages of Albert Bandura’s research for social learning theory, he analyzed the basics of learning process of human and also the willingness of children and adults to imitate behaviors observed in others. Models are an important source for an individual to learn new things and behaviors. He also stated that in social learning theory, there are 3 systems that affect and control behavior. First, antecedent inducements will influence the time and response of a behavior greatly.
That is, even teachers, parents and other elder family members can learn or understand how to apply social learning theory, for example, using reinforcement, punishment and modeling, to affect people’e behaviors by looking at related books.
New behaviour will continue if it is protected. According to this theory, the learning process is made more efficient if the new behaviour is demonstrated as well. One of the strengths of learning theories is that they developed methods for practical work. The criticism though, is that in their willingness to achieve visible results, they can become influencing. In learning theories, one was not concerned with the unconscious processes, but more with the visible behaviour.
Like physical memories, social memories are implicit, non-declarative and are linked to our homeostatic status. This learning, memory foundation is located in a more recently evolved part of the brain, mostly in what is called the limbic system. The limbic system sits above the brain stem and mid brain but it is not separate from it. Keep in mind that in all assertions made in this paper it is important to keep in mind all the brain is interconnected all the time.
