The power of observation. Almost forgotten potentialities of the Cognitive-Social Learning Model

attention, cognitive-social theory, execution, learning by observation, motivation, retentionAbstract
Originally, the cognitive-social theory was an important answer to overcoming the limitations of behaviorist theories. However, in recent times, its heuristic potential has been relatively forgotten. This paper seeks to recover some of the theses of the observational learning model to illustrate the power of self-regulatory mechanisms for understanding human behavior.
