All three steps (paying attention, remembering, and reproducing the behavior) are necessary for observational learning to take place. Additionally, reinforcement is not always required for the behavior to be learned, but it may increase the likelihood of the behavior being repeated in the future. Therefore, all of these steps must take place for observational learning to occur.
