The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether localized motor activity could be induced in an observer as a consequence of his exposure to specific acts by a model. (Author)

The present experiment was designed to provide a test of observational learning (acquisition) and broad imitative behavior (performance) following exposure to models who were controllers or rival consumers of resources. (Author)

Observed liberal-stringent model behavior significantly affected both the subject's subsequent self-reward behavior and performance. (Authors)

Attempts to assess the effects of the mode and patterning of rehearsal on the acquisition and retention of modeled behaviors varying in organizational properties. (Author/RK)

An adult model (teacher) displayed a preference for the doll least selected by the children in her classroom. Indications were that children in the experimental classes imitated the preference of their teacher in selecting their favorite doll at the completion of the experimental period. (Author/CB)

Primary purpose of this study was to examine the effect of observed verbal reward to a model on an observer's performance while controlling for the presentation of verbal consequences to the critical responses of the model. (Author)

Second-, fourth-, and sixth-grade children were tested on a multiple-classification task to investigate the relationship between age and observational learning. (Editor)

Purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of three sources of model content and two types of information content in an attempt to further clarify the effects of modeling procedures in teacher training. (Authors)

It Scale performance of second-born Ss appeared to reflect the influence of the sex of the older sibling. Age-spacing between siblings did not appear to influence sex-role preference, except for males who had an older sister. (Author)

This research attempts to develop methods which teachers can use now in dealing with disturbances in the classroom, and to investigate the efficiency of these methods in decreasing the disturbances in working conditions. Develops the idea that teachers should be able to use positive means in dealing with disruptive behavior by students. (Author/RK)

Studied were the effects on observational concept learning of the experimenter as his own model, versus the experimenter plus a separate model, versus a nonmodeling (control) procedure, as well as the provision of favorable versus neutral outcome-expectation. (Authors/CB)

Results lend support to the notion that children at different ages are differentially responsive to various conceptual-strategy models. (Author)

The question-asking behavior of disadvantaged Mexican-American second-grade children was found readily modifiable using an adult model offering contingent praise. (Authors)

This study investigates the possibility that the reinforcement strength of stimuli can be enhanced by observational learning as well as by pairing with unconditioned reinforcers. The reinforcement strengths of two candies were determined for 40 preschool children as measured by rate of response on a button pressing apparatus. The children then…
