Behavior modeling is based on the principles of social learning theory.
Behavior modeling is a training method in which trainees are presented with a model that gives the opportunity to practice the key behaviors (a set of necessary behaviors to complete a task). Key behaviors are typically performed in a specific order. Behavior modeling involves watching a model perform key behaviors followed by practice opportunities. It is a training method that is related to apprenticeships and case studies. It is also the best training method for transfer of learning.
In social learning theory is expected that people learn from another person by using observation, imitation and modeling.
