  9. Observational learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_learning

    For example, the learner may observe an unwanted behavior and the subsequent consequences, and thus learn to refrain from that behavior. For example, Riopelle (1960) found that monkeys did better with observational learning if they saw the "tutor" monkey make a mistake before making the right choice. [17]
