Social cognitive theory, developed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the role of cognition in influencing behavior. It suggests that individuals learn through the observation and imitation of others, as well as through the use of cognitive processes such as attention, memory, and motivation. In contrast, behaviorism (A) focuses solely on observable behavior, while operant conditioning (B) and classical conditioning (C) also do not emphasize the role of cognition as strongly as social cognitive theory.
