Shawn is trying to teach his son Cameron how to hit a baseball. Shawn begins hitting some baseballs to show his son how to swing. Cameron watches several hits and then decides to try it out for himself. According to Albert Bandura's model of observational learning, what four processes must occur for Cameron to learn how to hit a baseball?
What will be an ideal response?
First, Cameron must pay attention as his father models the technique of hitting a baseball. Second, Cameron will need to retain or remember his father's model. Next, Cameron will need to engage in motor reproduction. In this example, Cameron will need to imitate his father's movements. The final component in Bandura's model focuses on reinforcement. If Cameron sees that the model is rewarded (e.g., if other people say "nice hit" to his father), he will be more likely to repeat the hitting behavior.
