Affective social learning
Titre du projet
Affective social learning
Description
L'objectif de ce projet n'est pas tant de comprendre comment des comportements efficaces ou des connaissances solides et fiables sont transmis, mais plutôt de mettre en lumière les mécanismes qui permettent aux enfants, ainsi qu’à tous les nouveaux venus dans une communauté, de saisir ce qui est considéré comme utile, intéressant ou valorisé par les membres du groupe. L’objectif est d’expliquer, au moins en partie, comment il se fait que certaines choses comptent pour nous, que ce soit en tant qu'individu ou en tant que collectif. C'est en cela que consiste l'apprentissage social affectif

; ; Debates concerning social learning in the behavioral and the developmental cognitive sciences have largely ignored the literature on social influence in the affective sciences despite having arguably the same object of study. We argue that this is a mistake and that no complete model of social learning can exclude an affective aspect. In addition, we argue that including affect can advance the somewhat stagnant debates concerning the unique characteristics of social learning in humans compared to other animals. We first review the two major bodies of literature in nonhuman animals and human development, highlighting the fact that the former has adopted a behavioral approach while the latter has adopted a cognitive approach, leading to irreconcilable differences. We then introduce a novel framework, affective social learning (ASL), that studies the way we learn about value(s). We show that all three approaches are complementary and focus, respectively, on behavior toward; cognitions concerning; and feelings about objects, events, and people in our environment. All three thus contribute to an affective, behavioral, and cognitive (ABC) story of knowledge transmission: the ABC of social learning. In particular, ASL can provide the backbone of an integrative approach to social learning. We argue that this novel perspective on social learning can allow both evolutionary continuity and ontogenetic development by lowering the cognitive thresholds that appear often too complex for other species and nonverbal infants. Yet, it can also explain some of the major achievements only found in human cultures.
