During a volunteering session at a community centre, an older volunteer found a lost travel card and handed it to reception. Hana and Owen, two pupils helping at the session, were both present.
| Pupil | During the session | During the following two weeks |
|---|---|---|
| Hana | Watched closely and later gave an accurate account of what the volunteer had done | Found another lost travel card and handed it to reception |
| Owen | Watched closely and later gave an accurate account of what the volunteer had done | Did not come across any lost property |
Using social learning theory, explain what the records show about observation and imitation for Hana and Owen, including what the theory would predict if Owen later found a lost travel card.
