Social learning involves observing and imitating the behaviors of others through the process of modeling. This can be influenced by the consequences (reward or punishment) that others receive for their behaviors. Instrumental learning and operant conditioning are types of learning that involve different forms of reward and punishment consequences, but they do not necessarily involve observation of others' behavior. Classical conditioning involves learning associations between stimuli, without necessarily involving imitation of others.
