3. Lesson Objectives
By the end of the lesson you …
• Must be able to describe (AO1) Operant
Conditioning.
• Must be able to describe (AO1) the
components of OC (PR,NR,PP,NP).
• Should be able to describe (AO1) Social
Learning Theory.
5. Punishment Reinforcer
Decrease chance of
undesirable behaviour
Increase chance of desirable
behaviour
Positive
the addition of
something /
doing
something.
Negative
the removal of
something /
stop doing
something
Adding something after an
undesirable behaviour to
decrease the chance of
replication.
E.g. Hitting a child after a
bad behaviour
Adding something after a
desirable behaviour to
increase the chance of
replication.
E.g. Reward of chocolate
after good behaviour.
Removing something
after an undesirable
behaviour to decrease
the chance of replication.
Eg. Taking a mobile off a
child after bad
behaviour.
Removing something or
something bad NOT
happening after a desirable
behaviour to increase the
chance of replication.
Eg. Stop shouting at a child
when they behave.
6. Conversion Task
Define each of the following terms in relation to
operant conditioning and give an example of
each.
– Reinforcer
– Punishment
– Positive Reinforcement
– Negative Reinforcement
– Positive Punishment
– Negative Punishment Pg. 17-18 / 10 minutes

Using all of the key terms of Social Learning
Theory describe how a child might learn to
be aggressive.
10 minutes
explain the same behaviour using
classical conditioning or operant
conditioning.

25. Stage One
Child is placed in a
room with a bobo
doll and is a passive
witness to either the
aggressive or non-
aggressive role
model.
Stage Two
Mild
aggressive
arousal.
Stage Three
Child is taken to a
play room where
there is a bobo doll
along with other
toys. Observed for
20 minutes.

• Aim
• What did they hope to find? What was their
research question? What theory is the study
attempting to support? How is it going to support it?
P
• Procedure
• What did they do? How did they do it? Who did they
do it to? When did they do it?

Time line activity
Starting with the initial observations prior to the experiment
and ending with the 20 minutes of observation at the end
plot a timeline of the study ensuring that you have all stages
in detail.
27. Following on from the timeline that you have
completed give two examples of quantitative results
from the study and two examples of qualitative
results from the study. (5 minutes)
28. 1. Briefly explain Bandura’s social learning theory?
2. What type of method did Bandura use?
3. What type of design did Bandura use and why did he use it?
4. What are the IVs in the study?
5. How did Bandura match the children?
6. Why were the children exposed to ‘mild aggression arousal’?
7. Describe a possible weakness with the sample
8. What were the main controls in the study?
9. Describe how the dependent variables were measured
10. How else could the DV have been measured?
11. Why was both imitative and non-imitative aggression observed?
12. In what ways does Bandura’s study lack ecological validity?
13. What does this study tell us about aggression?
14. Boys were more likely to imitate physical aggression than girls.
Why is this the case according to Bandura?
15. According to Bandura how could we reduce aggression?
