Document Summary
Reward, identification and role of social env are very important. Child is not passive, they are taking in info from the env and responding to them. Env is still important but not the most important. Interaction between child and external world: they act on and respond to it. Person is much more active agent; exploring the world. Cognition/ reasoning/thinking is important; how children reason and understand the world (social learning focuses on observable behaviour; which was seen on the film conscience of a child) For training to be effective, the child has to be cognitively ready to accept the training. Qualitatively different ways of thinking at different stages of development. Difference is in intent (one child was only going about his regular routine, other child was doing something he wasn"t supposed to) Other difference is in the amount of damage ( first child broke 15 cups, other child broke. Created stories that pitted intentionality against amount of damage.
