Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Rather than experiencing reinforcement ourselves for each of our actions, we learn through vicarious reinforcement by observing the behavior of other people and the consequences of that behavior. This focus on learning by observation or example, rather than always by direct reinforcement, is a distinctive feature of Bandura's theory.
