Ryan Is on a Baseball Team with Other 8-Year-Olds in a Community

Essay

Ryan is on a baseball team with other 8-year-olds in a community league. On the first day of practice, Ryan's buddy hit the ball and threw his bat aside as he ran to first base. The coach reprimanded the player for throwing the bat and told him to sit on the bench for the rest of the practice. Ryan saw what happened to his buddy and determined that he would always drop the bat at his feet when he got a hit. How might Bandura describe Ryan's learning in this situation, and what label might he apply to Ryan's learning?
