AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Vicarious learning is a way of learning that allows individuals to learn from the experience of others. It is a conscious process that involves sensing, feeling, and empathizing with what people are doing and taking notes, and evaluating.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vicarious learning is all about experiencing something through observation rather than in person. It’s the act of watching someone else go through an experience, like reading a book or hearing stories from your parents. Reading a book and hearing stories are both examples of vicarious learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vicarious learning theory states that an individual can successfully learn by observing another person taking an action, understanding the reason behind that individual’s success or failure, and then imagining themselves taking the correct course of action, without needing to actually do the action themselves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Observational learning is the process of learning to respond in a particular way by watching others, who are called models. Observational learning is also called “vicarious conditioning” because it involves learning by watching others acquire responses through classical or operant conditioning.
