In 510 sentences, summarize the theory.
Social learning theory holds that reward and punishment mechanisms are not the only learning strategies for children but developing complex social interactions affects behavior, impulses, and beliefs.
Bandura (2012) argues that behavior and personality are not established at infancy or dictated by their genetic makeup but are developed gradually through a continuous learning with the immediate environment.
The individuals dictate the environment the child finds similar to themselves, such as family or media characters, and how they respond to its behavior.
Behaviors in reaction to the childs behavior by the family or primary carers are reinforced, or not, through reinforcement or punishment.
Notably, reinforcement can be internal or external; a child continuously seeks approval, if they find that approval within themselves, internal reinforcement, or from other individuals, external reinforcement affects their behavior.
Children also learn what to do from watching the consequences of similar actions on other individuals.
A child identifies an individual who becomes a model of their behavior; they adopt the models beliefs, values, behaviors, and attitudes.

are the broad topics being discussed, often abstract ideas, that are important to understand the issue being researched but might not be easily defined or observed.
The theory is predicated on observational learning, where a childs cognitive functions are engaged to decide if new responses are acquired.
This meditative process and Bendura (2012) hold that these four processes are core: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.
Imitation. Individuals need to pay attention to other peoples behaviors and consequences to form a mental representation.
Retention. Retention refers to how well a behavior observed is remembered to be performed after that.
Reproduction. The ability to perform the behavior demonstrated by a model is predicated on an individuals abilities. Physical or cognitive abilities allow or limit the type of behavior that an observer reproduces.
Motivation. The willingness to perform a behavior is determined by the perceived consequences, such as the accrued punishment or reward. If the rewards, reinforcement internal or external, outweighs the costs, punishment, then the behavior is likely to be imitated, and not imitated, if the costs outweigh the rewards

Albert Bandura 1971.
Identify where this theory originated.
The social learning theory emerged from Benduras 1961, illustrating how observational learning occurs.
The experiment led to learning that parents within the family, characters on childrens TV, friends within their peer group, and teachers at school influence a childs behavior, notwithstanding the gender of the model.
Quotes
Bandura (1971, p.3) because of mans anticipatory capacity, conditions of reinforcement also have strong inventive-motivation effects.

Social learning theory is predicated on paying attention to the models behavior to acquire desirable traits. There are two core concepts, meditation and observational learning, pertinent to the theory. The interventions adopted from this theory will involve influencing positive behaviors through alteration of the reinforcement, such as symbolic coding, stress management, and vicarious enforcement.
Since ADHD interferes with social learning, the interventions employed will take a proactive approach to improve the internalized approval of the child.

…model that explains behavioral responses to environmental stimuli.
However, the theory holds that nonpsychological and psychological factors lower the cognition-behavior consistency.
Such factors, beliefs, values, expectancies, and intentions intervene between action-related cognitions.
The ability to complete an action depends on an individual regulation of the internal and external factors that affect the execution of an action.
Being intentional towards the realization of goals is critical for developing voluntary behavior that increases the chances of achievement of the desired goal.

Identify where this theory originated.
Kuhl & Beckmann (1985) examine the assumption that what is thought can be accomplished.
The theory is predicated on Banduras earlier theories, such as the social cognitive theory.

may factors have been found to influence the stability of behavioral intentions. Examination of these factors sheds light on the way and means by which it may be possible to prevent changes in the intentions or modify predictions to take anticipated readjustment into account.
