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

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...
