Jamal's father is mowing their home lawn. Jamal excitedly starts mowing the lawn with his toy lawn mower, which he had received for his birthday. In this scenario, Jamal has learned through A) speech.
B) biology.
C) cognition.
D) observation.

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Children's learning begins with observation. Children see what their parents do, how they behave, and they learn those same behaviors, they acquire them in their repertoire and they will repeat them in the future. Observational learning occurs when the person observes another person, producing a certain change in the observer's behavior as a consequence of the experience consisting of observing another, this implying a certain level of cognitive activity, a name by which the process is known of obtaining knowledge by man and its creative application in social practice. Children acquire and modify complex patterns of behaviors, knowledge and attitudes through the observation of adults.
