 Cognition incorporates numerous variables that may affect how we learn. For this discussion address the following:

• Explain social cognitive theory (SCT).
• Evaluate the applicability of SCT to a real-life experience.
  • Hint: Is there something you know about or a behavior that you display that was learned from your social environment? Were you modeled this behavior? Did the learned knowledge or behavior have consequences that encouraged you to adopt it?
• Evaluate your example by answering the following questions:
  • How does your learned knowledge or behavior potentially affect your developed schemata?
  • What if you learned that this knowledge or behavior was not accurate?
  • How hard would it be to adapt or accommodate?
• SCT suggests that the environment affects our knowledge or behaviors. What does reciprocal determinism suggest and why is this important?
• Share an example from your own experiences of reciprocal determinism.
