Answer:

The answer is: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Social cognitive theory stands that portions of an individual's knowledge acquisition can be related to observing others within the context of social interactions.

When people observe a model performing a behaviour and the consequences of that behaviour, they remember the sequence of events and use this information to guide subsequent behaviors.

The theory says that people do not leatn new behaviours solely by trrying them and either succeding or failing, but upon the replication of the action of others.

I hope it works!
