Modeling becomes a crucial cause of learning and behaving for a multitude of
reasons. By relying on the action of knowledgeable models, a novice can
behave appropriately in a given situation without having to discover the
acceptable conduct through shocked or pleased reactions to his unguided
performance (Bandura, 1971). Assuming this is absolutely true, a child
would not become rowdy if he/she sees that every child in his/her class is very
quiet and is sitting in their chairs properly. Similarly, a shy child can
become outspoken if he/she becomes used to a class with outspoken
students. Because people tend to follow an example (model), they are able
to produce more acceptable modes of behavior (as far as their immediate
environment is concerned), which is much more reinforcing than tedious trial
and error (Bandura, 1971).
