Social Learning

Social learning is a process where individuals acquire new behaviors, skills, or knowledge by observing and imitating others, rather than through direct experience or formal instruction. It emphasizes the importance of social interactions, modeling, and feedback in how we learn from our environment. For example, a child might learn to tie their shoes by watching a parent or peer. This type of learning highlights the role of social context and relationships in shaping understanding, making it a fundamental way humans adapt and grow within their communities.
