Albert Bandura is associated with which of the following?

Social Learning Theory is the psychological framework holding that people learn new behaviours, attitudes, and emotional reactions primarily by observing others (models) and imitating them, rather than only through direct reinforcement -- this observational learning is mediated by attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.

Albert Bandura formulated this theory, most famously demonstrating it through his Bobo doll experiments in which children who observed an adult model behaving aggressively toward a doll reproduced similar aggressive behaviour themselves, even without being directly reinforced for it. He later extended the framework into Social Cognitive Theory, introducing concepts such as reciprocal determinism and self-efficacy.

• Behavioural theory (in the sense of classical/operant conditioning) explains behaviour through stimulus-response associations and reinforcement, and is tied to theorists such as Watson, Pavlov, and Skinner.

• The cognitive theory of development traces how children's reasoning structures change with age across fixed stages, and is tied to Jean Piaget.

• The psycho-social theory of development maps an eight-stage lifespan sequence of identity-related crises, and is tied to Erik Erikson.

None of these alternative frameworks are attributed to this psychologist, confirming Social Learning Theory as the correct association.
