Observational Learning

Observational learning involves acquiring new behaviors, skills, or attitudes by watching and imitating others, emphasizing the importance of models in learning.

Classical Conditioning

Latent Learning

A form of learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement and is not demonstrated until there is motivation to do so.
