Hundredth Monkey Syndrome

All behavior is learnt from the environment. We learn new things new behavior through operant or classical conditioning.

Each person is a social being and is aware of the environment that they live in. People learn from their experiences as well as from observing others. When children learn about their environment first hand or by observing another, negative and positive behaviors are reinforcement. If a child does a behavior and receives a reward for that behavior, the rewarded behavior is reinforced. Similarly, when someone witnesses negative consequences based on their behavior, they tend to modify that behavior (Schmied & Tully, 2009, p. 9).

Generally, there is an intricate, twisted web of human motivations underlying overt behavior. Though it differs for each person, there are definite patterns that I quickly became attuned to.

Person’s behavior frequently depends on the environment s/he experiences. For example, attending university differs from hanging with friends. For example, during university lessons, people are not allowed to use phones, talk with classmates and pay attention to another things. However, while spending time with friends, people are allowed to talk with their friends, use phones to show something. So, when people follow the

What is one theory that influenced the development of the approach and how the theory helps describe behaviors

People, especially younger children, are learning daily from their role models and the environment. Any type of behavior display socially is learned primarily by observing and imitating the actions of others. The social behavior is also influenced by being rewarded and/or punished for these actions.

Organisms will be inclined to comply to the desired response if they are rewarded for doing so. If an organism is punished for a certain behavior they will not risk the same punishment recurring.

-A person’s behavior can be influenced by observing others within the context of social interactions, experiences, and outside media influence.

The social learning theory suggests that people learn new behaviors through observation of factors in their environment, by taking note of other’s

| A rich and detailed method to capture how and why people behave in certain ways and the impact of these processes on behaviour.

Behavioural psychology posits that a person's behaviour is learned and maintained by its consequences, or

Informational Social Influence this theory consists of the need to analyze different the information and different points of view. When a person is found in an unknown environment, without sufficient information about it. That person will look at other people’s behavior to know what the social norm is and will then behave in a similar way. People need information about their environment to feel comfortable.

In regards to social cognitive theory, one is looking at the fact that people learn by observing behavioral

The theory I will focus on is the Social Learning Theory. Albert Bandura theory explains that people learn from one another, either from modeling, imitation
