Answer: Social Learning Theory

Explanation:

Social Learning Theory explains that new behaviors can be learnt by observing and imitating others. This is commonly seen amongst children as they grow up, they want to imitate and learn everything they see an adult doing. Alex is practicing social learning theory as he copies or imitates exactly what his mum is doing.
