Observational learning. Observational learning is learning that occurs through observing the behavior of others.
Albert Bandura, who is known for the classic Bobo doll experiment, identified this basic form of learning in 1961. The importance of observational learning because it may help, especially children, acquire new responses by observing others' behavior. This form of learning does not need reinforcement to occur, but instead, requires a model. A social model can be a parent, sibling, friend, or teacher, but—particularly in childhood—a model is someone of authority or higher status.
A social model is significantly important in observational learning because it facilitates cognitive process behavior. While the model may not intentionally try to instill a particular behavior, many behaviors the learner observes, remembers, and imitates are actions that models display. Culture plays a role in whether observational learning is the dominant learning style in a person or community. Stages[edit] Critical thinking web.
