In this MRCPsych revision episode we explore punishment and observational learning within behavioural psychology.

Topics include positive punishment, negative punishment, modelling and social learning theory described by Albert Bandura. These principles help explain how behaviours can be learned through observation and imitation.

These concepts frequently appear in MRCPsych Part A questions involving behavioural psychology and learning theory.

This episode maps directly to paragraph 1.1.1 of the Royal College of Psychiatrists membership examination, MRCPsych Part A, syllabus.
