Repeating different behavior through observation and imitation. It also known as displaced learning, modeling. This theory was suggested by Albert Bandura. Mainly, to learn in an observational way, recall it or record it in their mind, and finally replicate the behavior. The behavior may or may not happen again. The choice to continue demonstrating the behavior depends on the outcome (reward, etc.). The things that limit this type of learning are the intelligence level and the level of capability to copy the person well that the learner has.
In the experiment, of Bandura's stresses the important of observational learning. In his famous Bobo doll experiment, Bandura determined that early children would mimic the violent and aggressive actions of an adult model. In the experiment, children observed a film in which an adult repeatedly hit a large, inflatable balloon doll) Taylor and DeQuinzio, 2012). After viewing the film clip, children were allowed to play in a room with a real Bobo doll just like.

Most of them are receiving evidence based on interaction begin with education in intensive one-to-one. Behavior analysts have suggested alternative explanations for observational learning that do not involve theoretical constructs such as those proposed by Bandura (1977); for instance, the development of cognitive representations. Rather, behavior-analytic descriptions suggest environmental variables that can be manipulated such as the individual’s learning history related to reward for derivative behavior, the stimuli that may control responding, stimulus generalization, and the demonstration of complex and conditional discriminations. It required to extend Pereira-Delgado and Greer (2009) by teaching child with autism to specify judgement of the contingencies by mimicking the responses. It also looked at acquirement of unknown labels in two conditions (Taylor and DeQuinzio,
