Question

observational learning is different from the associative learning described by behaviorism because observational learning
multiple choice
requires a permanent change in behavior
relies on competing stimuli.
relies on mental processes.
requires a person to be as unique as possible.

Explanation:

Associative learning (from behaviorism) focuses on linking stimuli/responses through conditioning, while observational learning (from social learning theory) centers on internal mental processes like attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation to learn by watching others. The other options are incorrect: both learning types can lead to permanent behavior change; competing stimuli are not the key difference; and observational learning does not require uniqueness.

Answer:

relies on mental processes.
