Question

Alex sees her mother mixing ingredients for a cake. Later, Alex takes a bowl and spoon out of the cabinet and pretends to mix some imaginary ingredients. Of which theory of gender development would this be a good example?

Answer 1

Answer: Social Learning Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Social Learning Theory explains that new behaviors can be learnt by observing and imitating others. This is commonly seen amongst children as they grow up, they want to imitate and learn everything they see an adult doing. Alex is practicing social learning theory as he copies or imitates exactly what his mum is doing.
