Ques. 2

Which of the following statements most accurately describes a comparison between behaviorism and social cognitive theory?
 
  a. Behaviorism focuses on behaviors that have direct causes outside the learner, whereas social cognitive theory focuses on changes in behavior resulting from observing others.
