I found the part of observational learning very interesting because i believe everyone does it! We all want to be like someone weather its an athlete, rockstar, or someone smart. We take in what we see an apply it to our life. You constantly see little boys wrestling around like they see on t.v. or girls trying to dress up pretty like the ones they read about. Sometimes it has its negative effects such as with girls trying to model. They may suffer eating disorders because of what they see and are trying to become. so in all that i found that part of the chapter to be extra interesting because i can relay it to just about everyone.
I know for a fact i have been exposed to classical conditioning. I have been swimming since i was very little and being underwater if your coach has something to say he cant just stop you. Whenever he wants your attention he will whistle one loud whistle. He whistles when he wants you to start a set, get your attention, or go faster. Either way the whistle is my signal. The one time i was in the mall of america with my sister and we got seperated from my parents and so my dad whistled, instantly both my sisters head and mine turned to look for the whistle and we found my dad. Trained on that sound i know i am a victim of classical conditioning!
