Question

"If Modeling" or the acquiring of learning through observation occurs through four processes, what can happen during the MOTIVATION process?

A. Reinforcement, either internal/self-reinforcement or external, is required for behavior to be retained and regularly manifested
B. Learning does not occur by exposure alone
C. The learner must have the capacity to recall his or her memory of the modeled behavior
D. The learner uses memory to guide an actual performance of the behavior.

Answer 1

Motivation is an important step in the modeling process as it determines whether a learner will imitate a behavior or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Bandura's modeling process, motivation is one of the four steps in observational learning. It is the step where the learner decides whether to imitate the behavior they observed. Motivation is influenced by the consequences that the model received for their behavior. If the model was reinforced, either internally or externally, the learner will be more motivated to imitate the behavior. If the model was punished, the learner will be less motivated to imitate the behavior. Motivation plays a crucial role in whether the learner will repeat the behavior or not.
