Question

________ is learning by observing others in which the client gradually learns to acquire the behaviour of the model through a process of rewarding small changes in the behaviour.

• A. Vicarious learning
• B. Token economy
• C. Differential learning
• D. Flooding

Hint:

Learning by watching a model.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Modelling is learning by watching others. The learner copies the model's behaviour and small improvements are rewarded.

Step 2: Read the question
The blank is a type of learning by observing others, where small changes are rewarded.

Step 3: Check option (1) Vicarious learning
Vicarious learning means learning by observing others and their consequences. It fits the description, so (1) is correct.

Step 4: Check option (2) Token economy
This is a reward system, not learning by observation. So (2) is wrong.

Step 5: Check option (3) Differential learning
This is not a standard therapy term. So (3) is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (4) Flooding
Flooding is full exposure to a feared object at once. So (4) is wrong.

Final Answer:
The blank is vicarious learning, option (1). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (1)}} \]
