Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Social learning theory is the philosophy that people can learn from each other through observation, imitation and modeling. The concept was theorized by psychologist Albert Bandura and combined ideas behind behaviorist and cognitive learning approaches.

Detailed explanation-2: -Social learning theory suggests that social behavior is learned by observing and imitating the behavior of others. Psychologist Albert Bandura developed the social learning theory open in new as an alternative to the earlier work of fellow psychologist B.F. Skinner, known for his influence on behaviorism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. This learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the environment, and says that innate or inherited factors have very little influence on behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Theory of Imitation: the idea that children imitated what they heard around them. This theory is based on the behaviorism of B. F. Skinner and the work of Pavlov. This can not be all of the story because there would be no overextensions, no overgeneralizations.
