Social learning theory

Social learning theory  is a theory of  learning  and  social behavior  which proposes that new behaviors can be acquired by observing and imitating others. [1]  It states that  learning is a  cognitive process  that takes place in a  social context  and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement . [2]  In addition to the observation of behavior, learning also occurs through the observation of rewards and punishments, a process known as vicarious reinforcement. When a particular behavior is rewarded regularly, it will most likely persist; conversely, if a particular behavior is constantly punished, it will most likely desist. [3]  The theory expands on traditional  behavioral theories , in which behavior is governed solely by reinforcements, by placing emphasis on the important roles of various internal processes in the learning indivi...

Social loafing

In  social psychology ,  social loafing  is the phenomenon of a person exerting less effort to achieve a goal when they work in a  group  than when they work alone. [1] [2]  This is seen as one of the main reasons groups are sometimes less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals, but should be distinguished from the accidental coordination problems that groups sometimes experience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafing

Shared Mobility

Quantum computing

Quantum computing  studies theoretical  computation  systems ( quantum computers ) that make direct use of  quantum-mechanical phenomena , such as  superposition  and  entanglement , to perform  operations  on  data . [1]  Quantum computers are different from  binary digital electronic computers  based on  transistors . Whereas common digital computing requires that the data be encoded into binary digits ( bits ), each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1), quantum computation uses  quantum bits , which can be in superpositions  of states. A  quantum Turing machine  is a theoretical model of such a computer, and is also known as the universal quantum computer. The field of quantum computing was initiated by the work of  Paul Benioff [2]  and  Yuri Manin  in 1980, [3]   Richard Feynman  in 1982, [4] and  David Deutsch  in 1985. [5]  A...
