     • Observational learning is the process by which we understand or change a behavior from watching another person do the same thing
     • It is the imitation of a previously observed behavior that is referred to as modeling
     • Vicarious conditioning refers to learning whether to engage in behavior after seeing others engaging in that behavior and being rewarded or punished.

3. Associative Learning
