The social-cognitive theory is a
theoretical perspective in which
learning by observing others is the focus
of study.

People can learn by observing others. Learners can acquire new
behaviours and knowledge by simply observing a model.

A model is a person who demonstrates behaviour for someone else. The
observer watches the models perform the task in order to learn it.

4. ASSUMPTION 2:
Learning is an internal process that may or may not lead to a
behaviour.

5. ASSUMPTION 3:
Goal directed behaviour.

Reinforcement and punishment have indirect effects on
learning behaviour.
