Samantha Bergmann; Tiffany Kodak – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2024
Parity is one source of automatic reinforcement that increases the probability of verbal behavior that conforms to models provided by the verbal community. Parity as a conditioned reinforcer could explain the acquisition of grammar in the absence of direct, explicit reinforcement. This possibility has been explored in previous research on…

Bijlsma, Nienke; Schaap, Harmen; de Bruijn, Elly – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2016
Meaning-making and sense-making are generally assumed to be part of students' personal vocational knowledge development, since they contribute to both students' socialisation in a vocation and students' personalisation of concepts, values and beliefs regarding that vocation. However, how students in vocational education acquire meaning and make…

MacDonald, Rebecca P. F.; Dickson, Chata A.; Martineau, Meaghan; Ahearn, William H. – Education and Treatment of Children, 2015
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between tasks that require delayed discriminations such as delayed imitation and delayed matching to sample on acquisition of skills using video modeling. Twenty-nine participants with an ASD diagnosis were assessed on a battery of tasks including both immediate and delayed imitation and…

Fiorella, Logan; van Gog, Tamara; Hoogerheide, Vincent; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
The present study tests whether presenting video modeling examples from the learner's (first-person) perspective promotes learning of an assembly task, compared to presenting video examples from a third-person perspective. Across 2 experiments conducted in different labs, university students viewed a video showing how to assemble an 8-component…

Hanken, Ingrid Maria – Music Education Research, 2015
Most higher education institutions offering programmes in music performance organise master classes for their students. It is commonly agreed that master classes offer valuable learning opportunities for the students performing, but what do they offer for students in the audience? In this article, theories of learning by observation as well as…

Gallagher, Kelly – Stenhouse Publishers, 2011
If you want to learn how to shoot a basketball, you begin by carefully observing someone who knows how to shoot a basketball. If you want to be a writer, you begin by carefully observing the work of accomplished writers. Recognizing the importance that modeling plays in the learning process, high school English teacher Kelly Gallagher shares how…

Nash, Padraig; Shaffer, David Williamson – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
Players of epistemic games--computer games that simulate professional practica--have been shown to develop epistemic frames: a profession's particular way of seeing and solving problems. This study examined the interactions between players and mentors in one epistemic game, Urban Science. Using a new method called epistemic network analysis, we…

Flynn, Emma; Whiten, Andrew – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
We investigated developmental changes in the level of information children incorporate into their imitation when a model executes complex, hierarchically organized actions. A total of 57 3-year-olds and 60 5-year-olds participated, watching video demonstrations of an "artificial fruit" box being opened through a complex series of nine different…

Davidsson, Eva; Jakobsson, Anders – International Journal of Science Education, 2009
This study investigates staff members' ideas and assumptions about visitors' learning at science and technology centres. It also aims to explore in what ways their reasoning intersect with existing theories about learning within the field of science and technology centre research. The results of the study reveal that the staff members allude to…

Strouse, Gabrielle A.; Troseth, Georgene L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
Imitation of people on educational television is a potential way for very young children to learn new skills. Although toddlers in previous studies exhibited a "video deficit" in learning, 24-month-olds in Study 1 successfully reproduced behaviors modeled by a person who was on video as well as they did those modeled by a person who was present in…

Matson, J. L. – Journal of Mental Deficiency Research, 1980
The effectiveness of observational learning in social skills acquisition was assessed with two moderately retarded adults (ages 23 and 27) who were being trained as role models with mentally retarded peers. (Author/PHR)

Abravanel, Eugene – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Describes research on young children's long-term memory under 2 conditions of acquisition: direct imitation followed by a 10-minute delay, or deferred imitation. Children were able to encode and retain as much from visual pickup of modeled acts as from feedback obtained through imitation. (Author/GH)

Ferrari, Michel – Developmental Review, 1996
Notes that observational learning of a motor skill involves both observation of the model and self-observation. Examines observation of the modeled performance, including three moderators of observational learning: the properties of the model, the nature of the task, and observer determinants. Observer determinants are examined at length,…

Kitsantas, Anastasia; Zimmerman, Barry J.; Cleary, Tim – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2000
Studies the influences of modeling and social feedback in acquisition of dart-throwing skill with 60 high school girls. Discusses results in terms of a social-cognitive view of athletic skill acquisition in which vicarious abstraction of a skill prepares students to learn self-regulatively during practice efforts. (Contains 20 references, 4…

Scherer, Nancy J.; Olswang, Lesley B. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1989
A structured discourse strategy, employing child echoic imitations and adult expansion, was used to teach five autistic preschool children two-term semantic relations. The strategy increased the children's initial spontaneous imitations of two-term relations. Following the imitation increase, spontaneous productions of the two-term relations…
