Explain how Gabriel Tarde may be seen as the pioneer of modern-day social learning theory

What will be an ideal response?


Tarde is the forerunner of modern-day theorists because he believed that people learned through a process of imitation, which is very similar to the beliefs of modern-day social learning theorists. Social learning theory holds that people learn both interpersonal and observed behaviors through imitation, such as from watching movies or television, and this leads to conformity or criminal behavior.
