Answer 1

Answer:

- Modeling.

Explanation:

In the given example, Fatima displays 'imitation', 'observational', and 'modeling' concepts of learning as her behavior of mimicking her mother's behavior(mirror observational learning) exemplify that she learns emulation(exemplify imitation) through observing the environmental factors. While 'Modeling' is demonstrated when she learns a particular behavioral change(to feed her doll) through mere observation('of her mother feeding the infant brother') and without any instruction.
