Hi Efjejfe,
Observational learning is important in psychology, and it is important to all of us! Observational learning is learning behavior by viewing someone else perform that behavior. For example, you may have your morning routine (wake up, shower, eat breakfast, etc.) because you observed/learned this behavior from one of your parents. Observational learning can be applied to anything someone saw being performed, and then performed this themselves. Even the way that you walk can be influenced by this!
