What is emulation psychology?
n. the ability to comprehend the goal of a model and engage in similar behavior to achieve that goal, without necessarily replicating the specific actions of the model. Emulation facilitates social learning.
What is an example of emulation?
Common uses of emulation include: Running an operating system on a hardware platform for which it was not originally engineered. Running arcade or console-based games upon desktop computers. Running legacy applications on devices other than the ones for which they were developed.
What is the difference between emulation and imitation psychology?
Whereas in imitation an individual learns by copying the actions of another, in emulation they learn instead about the environment—for example, about the results of what others do or about the relevant properties of tools and other objects involved.
What is human emulation?
Emulation is a form of social learning in which an observer achieves the same goal as an expert they observe, but do not copy the bodily actions of the demonstrator, as when imitating.
