Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and Observational Learning

The Social cognitive theory states that social and cognitive factors as well as behavior, play important roles in learning. To support this theory Bandura developed the reciprocal determinism model this model consists of 3 main factors behavioral, person and cognitive factors and environment. Bandura states these factors can interact to influence learning.  Each of theses factors can effect the individual directly or can influence one of the other factors.I find that this is true if something affects me in my environment it contributes to how I feel my behavior and mood. 
                                                      

Observational Learning is learning that occurs when a person observes and intimidates someone else`s behavior. We have all learned by observational, as children we learn how to act by watching our parents or adult figures around us or learn to perform a particular task such as making our beds. Myself personally learn best by watching someone else preform the task and then attempting the same task.
