likely to be different than if I leaned on my understanding and in my ways. Henceforth, the minute I surrender myself to His perfect will, out of nowhere and unexpectedly, the man of my dreams came into to my life.
Bandura identifies four processes that impact observational learning, e.g. attentional, retentional, behavioral production, and motivation. Please define each and explain how each process influences observational learning.
According to Bandura, attentional processes is that only what is observed can be learned. An observer’s selective attention can be influenced by past reinforcements. In other words, prior reinforcement can create a perceptual set in the observer that will influence future observations. Retentional processes, which …show more content…

These four aspects are defined as: intentionality which deals with the forming of intentions that include action plans and strategies for realizing them. Forethought which includes the temporal extension of agency by setting goals and anticipating future events. In other words, the forethoughtful perspective provides direction, coherence, and meaning to one’s life. Self-reactiveness broadens the role of the agent to be more than just planners and fore thinkers. The latter includes processes of self-management and self-motivation, as well as emotional states that can undermine self-regulation. Finally, self-reflection refers to the self-examining nature of human agents. After we defined these concepts we can say that meditation upon scripture might have a very huge impact in human’s life when applying it to each of these four parts. Regardless of whatever other factors might also serve as guides and motivators, they are all dependent on a person’s core belief that he or she has power to affect changes by their actions. If we apply the word of God to these we can have say that those actions would be full of positive changes not only in our personal lives, but in the way that we can influence others. As the Bible quotes in Jeremiah 15:19, in the New International Version: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.” If we, as a Christian, meditate in this verse, we can really have a helpful influence toward people that desperately needs God in their life. The Bible also says in Matthew 5:13-15, in the New International Version: “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
