Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Observational learning.
 Amy observed the behaviors modeled by the presenters on PlaySchool and replicated them in her own environment by helping her mom put away the dishes. This is an example of observational learning, which occurs when individuals learn by observing the behavior of others and the consequences of that behavior. Reciprocal determinism is a theory that suggests that behavior, environmental factors, and personal factors all interact and influence each other. Social reinforcement is the application of positive or negative feedback from social interactions and can influence behavior. Altruistic learning refers to the process of learning through altruistic behavior, where individuals perform actions for the benefit of others without expecting anything in return. None of these options accurately describe the type of learning that occurred in this situation.
