Answer:
This type of learning is known as vicarious learning.
Explanation:
The term was defined by Albert Bandura. It refers to the learning of a certain behavior by watching others carry it out, as well as observing the results that come from it. In other words, it is a form of self-education.
The term vicarious means "transporting" the knowledge from the <em>observed</em> to the <em>observer</em>.
The best example of this type of learning is Bandura's experiment of aggression. In it, he placed a clown toy and made kids interact with it, to which the kids acted normal towards the toy.
After, he made the <em>kids watch as adults acted aggressively towards the clown</em>; hitting it in specific ways and pushing it around, amongst other behaviors.
Then the kids were asked to interact with the clown again and they would <em>act just as they say the adults act towards the toy</em>, even recreating specific ways in which the adults hit it.
