Answer 1

Answer:Observational learning

Explanation:

Observational learning, this is how we learn when we observe others do things so that later we can actual imitate their behaviour or model their behaviour and emotional expressions

Some people may also learn from someone's behavior but not really imitate it in the future. According to psychologist there are certain ways that are followed for the observed behavior to successful, these are attention ,retention, reproduction and motivation.

Conditions for observational learning

Attention

- for someone to learn a behavior they need to actual pay attention to what is being done by their model otherwise if there are factors distracting that person it won't be easy to learn the behavior.

Retention means one need to actual keep the behavior in their kind and be able to remember it in the future

Reproduction and motivation is dependent on the fact that if the behaviour is rewarded one is likely to imitate it but if it is punished they are likely to reject it.
