At separate school events, Samira and Ellis each see an older pupil enter through a staff-only door to avoid a queue.
| Evidence | Samira | Ellis |
|---|---|---|
| What happened while watching | Watched closely and noticed which door the pupil used and when they entered | Was talking to a friend and only glanced towards the pupil |
| What was remembered one week later | Could recall the door and when the pupil had entered | Could not remember which door the pupil had used |
| Situation at the next event | The same door was unlocked and Samira could reach it | The door Ellis had seen was locked |
| Consequence observed | The pupil joined their friends quickly and was not challenged | The pupil was stopped and sent to the back of the queue |
Using the four processes in social learning theory, describe how the evidence can be used to predict which pupil is more likely to copy the behaviour.
