Answer 2

social-cognitive theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Socio-cognitive theory states that learning does not always require direct reinforcement, it can also occur merely as a result of watching someone perform some action. Learning of this kind, called observational learning or modeling, is involved in a wide variety of behaviors. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Shelley, watching her cousin wear makeup, seized the movements and actions and tried to reproduce the movements that her cousin made with a lipstick, using a crayon.

According to this theory, children learn to hit by watching other people in real life and on television. They learn to be generous by watching others donate money or share goods.
