Answer 1

Answer:social learning

Explanation:

Social learning refers to how we learn from all those around us by closely watching their behaviour. Mostly we have people we look up to as our model and we are likely to model their behaviour after studying it carefully and we may find ourselves later doing what they did exactly as they were doing it.

However the behavior that we imitate depends on whether the behavior that we observed was reinforced or punished from our model. If the behaviour we observed was reinforced which means it hard a rewarding outcome ,it is likely that we will imitate that behavior so that we can also receive such reinforcement however if the behaviour was punished it is less likely that we will imitate it.

This is why Donna is trying to look at their mistakes and achievement because she wants to learnt from their mistakes and not repeat them and imitate those behavior that led to achievements.
