      • 4. Motivation
    • Modelling
      • The people we choose to learn from are called models

          • Celebrities
      • Observing consequences of behaviour
        • 4. Motivation
    • Research
      • observational and imitation learning
        • Bandura
          • Experimental

            • Prefects
        • Combination of research - experimental and case study
        • Weaknesses
          • Reduces complex human behaviour to obeservation and imitation
