Social learning theory has been applied extensively to the understanding of aggression (Bandura, 1973) and psychological disorders, particularly in the context of behavior modification (Bandura, 1969). It is also the theoretical foundation for the technique of behavior modeling which is widely used in training programs.ecause it encompasses attention, memory and motivation, social learning theory spans both cognitive and behavioral frameworks.
