Imitation
Copying behaviours of others
Idenitifcation

Modelling
From Obs POV: modelling is imitating behaviour of RM
From RM POV: modelling is precise demonstration of specific behaviour (can be imitated by obs)

Reinforcement which is indirect but occurs through observing someone else being reinforced for behaviour.
(Key factor in imitation)
Mediational Processes
