What is Social Learning?

• "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to
  mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely
  on the effects of their own actions to inform
  them what to do. Fortunately, most human
  behaviour is learned observationally through
  modelling from observing others one forms an
  idea of how new behaviours are performed, and on
  later occasions this coded information serves as
  a guide for action.

Albert Bandura Social Learning Theory, 1977
