imitable

Examples of imitable in the following topics:

• Art History Methodology

  • Is the artist imitating an object or image found in nature?
  • The closer the art hews to perfect imitation, the more the art is realistic.
  • Is the artist not imitating, but instead relying on symbolism, or in an important way striving to capture nature's essence, rather than copy it directly?
  • Impressionism is an example of a representational style that was not directly imitative, but strove to create an "impression" of nature.

• Development of Gender Identity

  • Children are shaped and molded by the people surrounding them, who they try to imitate and follow.
  • According to social-learning theory, children develop their gender identity through observing and imitating the gender-linked behaviors of others; they are then rewarded for imitating the behaviors of people of the same gender and punished for imitating the behaviors of another gender.
  • For example, male children will often be rewarded for imitating their father's love of baseball, but punished or redirected in some way if they imitate their older sister's love of dolls.

• Bandura and Observational Learning

  • The individuals performing the imitated behavior are called models.
  • Results indicated that after viewing the film, when children were left alone in a room with the Bobo doll and props used by the adult aggressor, they imitated the actions they had witnessed.
  • Those in the model-reward and no-consequence conditions were more willing to imitate the aggressive acts than those in the model-punished condition.
  • The theory of social learning states that behavior such as aggression is learned through observing and imitating others.

• The Resource-Based View

  • Effectively, this principle translates into valuable resources that are cannot be either imitated or substituted without great effort.
  • Non-substitutable – Even if a resource is rare, potentially value-creating and imperfectly imitable, of equal importance is a lack of substitutability.

• Defining Learning

  • Observational learning occurs through observing the behaviors of others and imitating those behaviors—even if there is no reinforcement at the time.
  • Albert Bandura noticed that children often learn through imitating adults, and he tested his theory using his famous Bobo-doll experiment.

• Definition and Background

  • Cooperative learning utilizes ideas of Vygotsky, Piaget, and Kohlberg in that both the individual and the social setting are active dynamics in the learning process as students attempt to imitate real-life learning.

• The competitive environment

  • Often local firms will adopt imitation strategies, sometimes successfully.

• Etruscan Ceramics

  • A finished bucchero surface imitated the appearance of metal.
  • This is type of bucchero ware is known today as bucchero sottile, or delicate bucchero, and the thin delicate walls further reinforced the material's imitation of metal.
  • The Etruscans developed an imitative adoption of the red-figure technique (known as Pseudo-Red-Figure) around 490 BCE, nearly half a century after that style had been invented in Greece.

• Choosing Your Method of Delivery

  • Speaking in a natural, conversational style means that the speaker does not imitate the speaking style of other great speakers but may reflect their style or approach as it suits the speaker's personality.
  • It is a fatal mistake to set out deliberately to imitate some favorite speaker, and to mold your style after that person.
  • The objective is to develop and magnify your own honest and sincere persona as a speaker without imitation when communicating with the audience.
