 * Bandura's Social Learning Theory demonstrated that people learn from observing the behaviors, emotional reactions, and attitudes of others. Bandura believed that "...one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action.” Bandura identified a four-component processes that an observer is influenced by when learning by observation:
 * 1) Attention - in order for an individual to learn anything, they must pay attention to the features of the modeled behavior
 * 2) Retention - in an individual is to be influenced by observing behaviors, they need to remember the activities that were modeled
 * 3) Reproduction - a person's ability to reproduce a behavior improves with practice so one needs to organize their own response according to the modeled pattern
 * 4) Motivation - in order for an individual to imitate a behavior, they must be motivated by a something, such as an incentive
