The explanatory principles of social learning are applied to the highest manifestations of human judgment  language  and thought. The book also explicates a social learning perspective on the social origins of complex abilities  and how these progressively evolve as children grow older.Comprised of four chapters  this book begins with a discussion on the interrelationships among cognition  behavior change  and social learning. Cognitive explanations for human behavior  and the kinds of evidence cited by cognitive theorists in support of their position  are considered  along with the major psychological theories that address abstract  rule-governed activities. The second chapter deals with childrens acquisition and refinement of language  paying particular attention to the objections and misunderstandings raised by psycholinguists to counter modeling explanations of language learning. The third chapter examines relational judgments and categorical decisions and presents evidence showing that diverse modeling procedures can be powerful influences on language and verbal behavior. The final chapter summarizes and integrates research bearing upon the effect of modeling influences on a wide diversity of conceptual activities  ranging from the formation of simple concepts to elaborate intellectual demands that involve complex styles of reasoning and strategies for seeking and organizing information.This monograph is intended for advanced undergraduates  graduate students  and professionals from such diverse fields as child development  social psychology  psychiatry  social work  clinical psychology  education  and rehabilitation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923550011445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0125967500","price":100.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780125967501.jpg?v=1794107266","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/social-learning-and-cognition-9780125967501","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
