Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is observational learning?

    Model answer

    Observational learning is learning a skill by watching and copying a model. Bandura developed the theory.

  2. 2

    What does DARMMM stand for?

    Model answer

    DARMMM stands for demonstration, attention, retention, motor reproduction, motivation and matching performance.

  3. 3

    What is the role of the demonstration in DARMMM?

    Model answer

    The demonstration shows the learner the skill to be copied. It should be accurate and relevant.

  4. 4

    What is the role of attention in DARMMM?

    Model answer

    The learner must focus on the key points of the demonstration. A high-status model gains more attention.

  5. 5

    What is the role of retention in DARMMM?

    Model answer

    The learner must remember the demonstration. Repeated demonstrations and imagery help retention.

  6. 6

    What is motor reproduction in DARMMM?

    Model answer

    Motor reproduction is the learner's physical ability to copy the skill. The skill must be within the learner's ability.
