I believe the correct answer is cognitive theoretical perspective.

Social cognitive theory by Albert Bandura is closely aligned with cognitive theoretical perspective, alongside Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and the cognitive science movement. Even though Bandura states that humans learn in relation to social environment, his theory can’t be considered behavioral because behavioral theoreticians, such as John Watson, believe that cognitive process shouldn’t be the theme of study, but behavior
