1. Ok, so an example to
1. Ok, so an example to illustrate this.
2. You often see this happen in families.
3. Let's say there are these two kids, a sister and a brother.
4. Let's say the girl is six and the boy is four.
5. And one day they are all out shopping with their mother and they are in a store.
6. And the girl sees a toy she wants.
7. She asks her mother to buy it, to buy the toy for her but the mother says no.
8. So what does the little girl do?
9. She starts crying and screaming.
10. You know "mommy, I want it" and finally mom gives in and says "ok, fine, you can have it" and buys the girl the toy.
11. Now don't forget the little brother is there and he is watching all this happen and maybe he sees this sort of thing happened a lot as mother giving in when his sister cries and screams.
12. What do you think he is going to start doing when he wants something from Mom?
13. He will probably cry and scream, right?
14. But what if the opposite had happened?
15. Same Mom didn't give in and didn't buy the girl the toy.
16. In fact, same Mom instead disciplines the girl for screaming and crying.
17. When they got home, she didn't let the little girl watch her favorite TV program.
18. Again the little boy is watching.
19. Now what's the little boy likely to do if he finds himself in a similar situation and he wants Mom to buy him something?
20. Chances are he is not gonna cry and scream, right?
A sample Answer to this speaking in text:
The professor talks about social learning which is a type of learning when people learn from watching and copying what others do. For example, A little girl cries and screams in a store when her mom refuses to buy her the toys she want. The mom gives in and buy it for her. Her baby brother sees that the crying works, he is likely to cry and scream when he wants something from her mom in the future. On the other hand, if the mom stands her ground when the little girl cries and screams, even not allowing her to watch TV when they get back home. The boy sees this, he is less likely to do what his sister does in the store in the future.
