Social Cognitive Theory

Famous quotes containing the words social, cognitive and/or theory:

    “When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.”
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

    “Creativity becomes more visible when adults try to be more attentive to the cognitive processes of children than to the results they achieve in various fields of doing and understanding.”
    —Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)

    “It makes no sense to say what the objects of a theory are,
    beyond saying how to interpret or reinterpret that theory in another.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
