  Cognitive Conditioning (Learning)

    Edward Tolman - The cognitive map is a mental representation in the brain of the layout of the environment & its features.

    Albert Bandura - The observational learning hypothesis is supported by the classic Bobo Doll experiment.

Bandura's Social Cognitive Learning; four processes:

•  The observer must pay ATTENTION.
     •  The observer must store the information in MEMORY.
         •  The observer then must be able to use the stored knowledge in IMITATION.
            •  The observer must have the MOTIVATION to do so.

  Insight learning (Kohler), (the "ah ha" experience) is another example of cognitive learning.
