Cognitive social learning theory was developed by Bandura, 1986, and includes the Doll model which emphasizes on the learning ability of two or more siblings in a family.It studies the various environmental factors responsible for the development of children in a family with study of their upbringing, their exposure, their reflex development, their sensing ,grasping ,holding and locomotion developement along with the ability to analyse their educational and career goals in life with understanding their behavioral and analytical skills with emphasis on personal response without the study of mental precision and skill with results as observed in conditioning learning theorists with knowledge and intelligence analysis of various situations and theories.The social learning theory includes the study of in depth analysis of concentration and learning ability with attention, the ability to guide and develop the career of children after reproduction,motivation and desire to succeed in life and the analysis of memory response. Further bobo doll experiment was conducted to analyse the behavior of children among siblings with understanding of their interaction, behavior and analysis of other emotional feelings including aggressiveness, selfishness, self-happiness, personal upliftment and attainment of highest authority with total love and care from both the parents without any affection for the other sibling.

Conditioning learning theorists--It includes the study of theories developed by Pavlov and James Watson.The study of conditioned and unconditioned reflex was studied by Pavlov in dogs, where a slice of meat was provided to dog with constant salivation for testing the ability of dog to analyse the quality of food with smell and eat the food after persistent ringing of bell along with serving meat, this type of reflex is studied under unconditioned stimulus whereas the testing of faithfulness of dog after persistent bell ringing alone to check the dog's response was cstudied under conditioned stimulus with serving of meat to dog after quality check analysis of food to see if the meat is rotten or not which may lead to food poisoning in dogs.

Further the experiment on rats was conducted by Watson with study of the fear response in humans after stimulating and checking the perceptiveness of humans to rats with noises.
