Title Imitational and social facilitatory aspects of observational learning in the laboratory rat Type Journal Article
Year 1971 Publication Psychonomic Science Abbreviated Journal Psychon. Sci.
Volume 25 Issue 1 Pages 5-6
Keywords
Abstract Rats acquired a food-motivated leverpressing response by “observational learning” or by trial-and-error learning under conditions of social facilitation or isolation. Both the observational learning and social facilitation Ss learned faster than did the isolated trial-and-error Ss. There was no difference in speed of learning between the observational learning and social facilitation groups. It is suggested that some previous studies purporting to demonstrate observational learning may have demonstrated socially facilitated trial-and-error learning instead.
