Answer 1

Answer:

The emphasis on unconscious mental processes is to the psychoanalytic perspective, as the emphasis on learning and conscious cognitive processes is to the social cognitive perspective.

Explanation:

The psychoanalytic theory was brought forward by Sigmund Freud. In this theory, Freud tries to explain about the unconscious activities of a person. It is a theory that tries to explain all the unintentional actions taken by a person like sudden reflex actions towards anything, dreams that occur in sleep, etc. Freud claimed that all these processes were due to the unconscious side of the brain.

The social cognitive theory describes how a person's behavior is mainly generated by the observances he/she makes.A person learns from a model by observing its behavior and then tries to imply the same actions.
