This theory agrees with the learning theories of classical conditioning and operant conditioning but adds two important ideas that behavior is learned from one’s environment through observation and mediating process occur between stimuli and responses. The Social Learning Theory is seen as a bridge between traditional learning theory and cognitive approach. Unlike Skinner‚ Bandura believe that humans do
