Answer:

Observational learning is in effect here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observational learning is learning that occurs through observing the behavior of others. It is a form of social learning which takes various forms, based on various processes. By seeing -observing that Mike got a sticker Jerry learns that if he is still he might get a reward - sticker.
