social learning (sh)




In psychological theory, a change in behaviour that is controlled by environmental influences rather than by innate or internal forces.

In zoology, social learning is exhibited by innumerable species of birds and mammals, who modify their behaviour by observing and imitating the adults around them. Birdsong is a socially learned behaviour.
