Vicarious Reinforcement
Vicarious reinforcement is a key component of motivation in observational learning. It occurs when an observer's motivation to imitate a model's behavior increases because they have seen the model receive a reward or positive consequence, such as praise, for that behavior. For example, if a child observes a teacher being praised for acting aggressively toward a Bobo doll, the child is more likely to imitate those aggressive actions.

In an experiment, three groups of children watch a video of an adult model interacting aggressively with an inflatable doll. Group A sees the model being praised for the aggressive behavior. Group B sees the model being punished for the aggressive behavior. Group C sees the model's aggressive behavior receive no consequences.
