Hundredth Monkey Syndrome is the theory that over time and space new thoughts and habits can be picked up without direct contact with those that initiated it. The theory is that if a person or animal picks up behaviour and practices it in the presence of others; they too will start to exhibit the behaviour either through copying or seeing the value of the behaviour. The behaviour initially in its early stages is picked up by others who are in direct contact with the person or animal that initiated the new behaviour and as time goes on others in the vicinity will start to do the same thing. Over time enough people/animals will display the behaviour which means that the next one to take it up tips the balance to a point where others in other

Each person is a social being and is aware of the environment that they live in. People learn from their experiences as well as from observing others. When children learn about their environment first hand or by observing another, negative and positive behaviors are reinforcement. If a child does a behavior and receives a reward for that behavior, the rewarded behavior is reinforced. Similarly, when someone witnesses negative consequences based on their behavior, they tend to modify that behavior (Schmied & Tully, 2009, p. 9).
-A person’s behavior can be influenced by observing others within the context of social interactions, experiences, and outside media influence.
What is one theory that influenced the development of the approach and how the theory helps describe behaviors
All behavior is learnt from the environment. We learn new things new behavior through operant or classical conditioning.
People, especially younger children, are learning daily from their role models and the environment. Any type of behavior display socially is learned primarily by observing and imitating the actions of others. The social behavior is also influenced by being rewarded and/or punished for these actions.
Herd behavior is all over the world in
| A rich and detailed method to capture how and why people behave in certain ways and the impact of these processes on behaviour.
Organisms will be inclined to comply to the desired response if they are rewarded for doing so. If an organism is punished for a certain behavior they will not risk the same punishment recurring.
Behavioural psychology posits that a person's behaviour is learned and maintained by its consequences, or
Informational Social Influence this theory consists of the need to analyze different the information and different points of view. When a person is found in an unknown environment, without sufficient information about it. That person will look at other people’s behavior to know what the social norm is and will then behave in a similar way. People need information about their environment to feel comfortable.
Person’s behavior frequently depends on the environment s/he experiences. For example, attending university differs from hanging with friends. For example, during university lessons, people are not allowed to use phones, talk with classmates and pay attention to another things. However, while spending time with friends, people are allowed to talk with their friends, use phones to show something. So, when people follow the
The social learning theory suggests that people learn new behaviors through observation of factors in their environment, by taking note of other’s
Generally, there is an intricate, twisted web of human motivations underlying overt behavior. Though it differs for each person, there are definite patterns that I quickly became attuned to.
The theory I will focus on is the Social Learning Theory. Albert Bandura theory explains that people learn from one another, either from modeling, imitation
