Blog-- Chapter 7

At first when I read this chapter, I found this section really confusing. However, after I did all the activities and assignments I really understood it more. I found the observational learning the most interesting in this chapter. I never really thought about observational learning until I thought about it in this chapter. It was all just interesting how people, especially children, will watch another person behave badly or good and try to imitate that person. Growing up I think I experienced observational learning many times. I learned how to speak properly by listening to my parents and older siblings, learned how to brush my hair and teeth by watching my siblings, and learning how to walk as a little child by watching everyone around me walk and keep their balance. I found Pavlov’s experiment with dogs and how he combined the food with a sound, which created both the food and the sound a conditioned response. In the end, I thought this chapter was actually very interesting and I had fun doing the learning activity too.
