Stages of Observational Learning

Observers cannot learn unless they pay attention to what's happening around them.

Attention

Observers must not only recognize the observed behavior but also remember it at some later time.

Retention

Observers must be physically and/intellectually capable of producing the act.

Motor Reproduction

observers will perform the act only if they have some motivation or reason to do so.

Motivation

A consequence that will strengthen an organism's future behavior whenever that behavior is preceded by a specific antecedent motivation. It can either increase or decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.

Reinforcement
