CABRERA, Rosalva  e  DOS SANTOS, Cristiano V. An Analysis of Social Learning Process in No Human Animals: Appetitive Versus Aversive Settings. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.3, pp.989-1000. ISSN 1657-9267.

This paper attempts to identify whether the components involved in different processes of social learning, both imitative and non imitative, evaluated in appetitive contexts can be identified in an aversive context. This identification will allow us to appraise the goodness and/or limitations of the concepts and their heuristic value. The paper begins with the definitions of learning, individual learning and social learning, followed by the definition of the different processes of social learning in appetitive contexts, with emphasis in conceptual and experimental difficulties. Then, the definition of the different processes of social learning in aversive context is proposed and the paper concludes with a discussion about differences and similarities in both contexts.
