Understanding the Self

There are three core concepts at the heart of social learning theory by Bandura.

Bandura goes on to explain that "Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling.

The third step in  social  theory recognizes that just because something has been learned, it does not mean that it will result in a change in behavior.

Learning does not necessarily need behavioral change

Attention: In order to learn, you don't need to be paying attention. Anything that distracts your attention is going to have a negative effect on observational learning.

Retention is  the ability to store information is also an important part of the learning process.

Reproduction: Once you have paid attention to the model and retained the information, it is time to actually perform the behavior you observed.

he Play Stage occurs from ages two through six years old.

The Game Stage occurs between the ages of one and down, in this stage individuals learn their role in relation to others and how to take on the role of everyone else in a game.

Mead also finds that language is a part of developing the self, in which individuals respond to each other through symbols, gestures, words, and sounds.

Where ‘Me’ is considered the social aspect of the individual and represents learned behaviors, attitudes, and expectations of others and society.

‘I’ is considered the past and future phase of the self.
