Observational Learning: Chimpanzee Juice Box Study
An example of observational learning in animals is a study where chimpanzees learned a more effective way to drink juice. One group of chimps, who initially used an inefficient dipping method with a straw, observed a second group that sucked the juice directly through the straw. After this observation, the first group adopted the more efficient sucking method, demonstrating they learned by modeling the other chimps' behavior.

A novice chef is trying to learn how to properly fold a dumpling. After several failed attempts result in the filling spilling out, the chef watches a short video where an expert demonstrates a specific folding technique that securely seals the dumpling. The novice chef then successfully folds the next dumpling using the demonstrated technique. Which statement best analyzes why this scenario is a clear example of learning through observation?
A child watches their older sibling play a new video game. The sibling struggles on a level until they discover a hidden shortcut that allows them to win. When the child plays the game for the first time later, they immediately use the same hidden shortcut to pass the level. This change in the child's behavior best demonstrates:
