PSYA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 25: Critical Thinking, Mirror Neuron, Observational Learning
Document Summary
Two ways that we come to opinions that don"t relate to rational thought. 1) observational learning: the opinion that we have and the behaviours that we have are b/c cause of the people around us at somewhat similar. Children were shown a lm 2 di erent groups group one had a normal typical. Lm the other saw adults kicking the bobo doll. Afterwards kids were let out to the play room that had toys ( incl. was a bobo doll) they saw that these children mimicked the adult in the the video they saw. Children then to mimick what you see there are mirror neurons that light up when we see some action and its like we are actually doing the action it like a precursor. Critical thinking: categorization of things, ability to evaluate, di erentiable, etc. Creative thinking: nding a solution to a problem.
