Answer: The correct answer is Model.

Explanation:

In psychology there's a type of learning proposed by Psychologist Albert Bandura called "observational learning" that is a type of learning in which a person learns by observing the behavior of others.

This type of social learning can take diverse forms, but there is always three aspects that are present:

1- Observer.

2-Specific action.

3-A model doing the action.

In this case, Joey's brother serves as a model for Joey. Joy being the Observer and the twirling of the pasta being the action that joey learned thanks to his brother.
