Modeling is one way in which behavior is learned. When a person observes the behavior of another and then imitates that behavior, he or she is modeling the behavior. This is sometimes knowegn as observational learning or social learning. Modeling is a kind of vicarious learning in which direct instruction does need not to occur.
Components of Modeling
Four steps are involved in the modeling of behavior. The first is attention. Before a behavior can be replicated, one must pay attention to the behavior. The next step is retention. One must be able to remember or retain the observed behavior. The third stage is reproduction. One must be able to translate the images of another’s behavior into his or her own behavior. In short, one must have the ability to reproduce the behavior. The final stage is motivation. In the end, one must be motivated to imitate the behavior. Until there is a reason, one will not model the behavior.
