Albert Bandura has given the social learning theory, which states that human beings learn from each other, through imitation, modeling, and observation. This theory often connects behaviorist with the cognitive learning theories as it involves motivation, memory, and attention.

Imitation: In psychology, imitation is one of the main components of Albert Bandura's social learning theory. it is defined as the process or performing an act that is being stimulated by encountering an identical act by another person or animal. During imitation, the attention and response of an imitator is directed towards a model.
