Bandura considers learning to be a social process. He identified three sets of motivating factors that promote the learning necessary to achieve a predetermined goal: (1) physical motivators, (2) social incentives, and (3) cognitive motivators. "Your cardiac studies reveal an enlarged heart. This is a sign of cardiac problems."; "I know you love to eat, but your current lifestyle is not conducive to good health."; and "Can you remember what it was like to get up and go to work every day? Your buddies miss you." are interventions used with the transtheoretical model of change.
