Answer: The answer is Motivation.

Explanation:

Motivation is one of the four elements of modeling in observational learning.

Motivation occurs when an observer is interested enough in reproducing the behavior they are observing. (In this case, getting better grades).

In this case he feels motivated to get an A because he is intrinsically motivated to do so (feels very passionate about the class, hence is motivated).
