Learning from the example of others — sometimes
called observational learning or modeling — is also one of the fundamental ways that we develop as human beings.
Niemiec and Wedding describe cinematic strengths - spotting as an exercise
in observational learning that can later serve as a model for behavior (page 16).
Moreover, instead of passively mimicking their peers (irrational herding), lenders engage in
active observational learning (rational herding); they infer the creditworthiness of borrowers by observing peer lending decisions, and use publicly observable borrower characteristics to moderate their inferences.
If you've ever made faces at an infant and watched them try to mimic your funny expressions, then you certainly understand
how observational learning can be such a powerful force even from a very young age.
«Kids in other cultures

observational learning refers to the learning of new behaviors that a person has never before performed (Goldstein & McGinnis, 1997).
This process
of observational learning is based on the reasoning that if others do it, it is probably a good or wise thing to do (Fekadu & Kraft, 2002; Rivis & Sheeran, 2003).
This research suggests that the bearded dragon is capable of social learning that can not be explained by simple mechanisms — such as an individual being drawn to a certain location because they observed another in that location or through
observational learning.
Observational learning: Psychology professor John O'Doherty will investigate three mechanisms of observational learning: social inference (deducing another person's goals or intentions), action imitation (watching another person and copying their actions), and self - based reinforcement (seeing another person's actions and the resulting rewards and imagining them happening to oneself).
· Learning involves observation, extraction of information from those observations, and making decisions about the performance of the behavior (
observational learning or modeling).

The experimenters summarized their data by saying, «In conclusion, our results suggest that

Through
observational learning they get the hang of using the litter box and whether or not to cover waste, how to hunt and kill (although this behavior is partially pre-determined genetically), what foods are safe to eat and who is appropriate as a friend.
I am confident that my strong communication skills, flexibility, creative thinking,
observational learning and the ability to encourage others will be a great help to your team.
The theoretical implications of these findings for explaining the intergenerational link to antisocial behavior in terms of
