Answer:

Social learning theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert Bandura hypothesized the Social learning theory, which argues that by observing, imitating, and designing, individuals can learn from each other.

It has at times been called a connecting point between the theories of behavior and cognitive learning because it includes attention, recollection, and determination.
