Imitation and Modeling Children learn in many different ways. In this section, the author will discuss the role of imitation and modeling in learning socially desirable behavior. “Modeling and imitation learning is the method through which the majority of socially desirable behaviors are learned” (Khan & Cangemi, 2001, p. 41). The author believes that children are influenced greatly by others and the end up imitating what they see others do. For example, the author had an older brother who he greatly looked up to.
