Cognitive Theory Edward Tolman, Developed a concept called cognitive theories of learning. According to him, the more complex explanations of behaviour can be summarized only with the help of cognitive approaches.That means learning consists of relationships between environmental cues and expectations

Cognitive refers to an individual thought, knowledge, interpretations, understanding or view about oneself, and his/her environment. Based on it, cognitive structure in memory. Which preserves and organise all information relating to the events that may a occur in learning situation.

Social Learning Theory In this Theory People can learn through observation and direct experience. It also believes that learning can take place by modeling and self controlled processes. Four Processes to determine the influence that a model will have on an individual are. 1.Attention 2.Retention 3.Motor reproduction processes 4.Reinforcement Processes
