Detailed explanation-1: -Vicarious reinforcement involves learning through observation of the consequences of actions for other people. When a learner observes someone they identify with and the role model receives reinforcement, the learner is motivated to imitate the behaviour as if they had been reinforced themselves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vicarious reinforcement occurs when learners observe role models receiving either positive or negative reinforcement. This means that because the learner has observed the consequences of the behaviour they are more (or less) likely to imitate it, depending on what those consequences were.
Detailed explanation-3: -The definition of positive reinforcement is the strengthening of a desired behavior through positive rewards. In vicarious reinforcement, it’s the people observing someone else getting positive reinforcement that strengthens the behavior.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vicarious reinforcement is related to vicarious learning. It is also known as observational learning or learning through modeling and occurs when an individual learns something simply through observation without direct reinforcement or punishment of the behaviour.
Detailed explanation-5: -An important concept in social learning theory, vicarious reinforcement often leads to imitation: for example, a student who hears the teacher praise a classmate for neat penmanship on an assignment and who then carefully handwrites his or her own assignment is considered to have received vicarious reinforcement.
