Learning by obnservation and immititation throught modeling

This process of learning assumes that one learns from someone. It is through observation and imitation from a model that a person will be able to do a similar thing.

Learning by observation and imitation require a model , hence it is referred to as "no-trail" learning.
This process of learning involves four phase : attentional phase where the learner observe the model; retention phase , where the learner copies ,practice or rehearse what has been observe; reproduction phase , where the learner matches their behavior to the model and motivation phase where learner will imitate the behavior for getting a chance to be reinforce by becoming like one from whom the behavior was copied.
