Which developmental theorist viewed children as apprentices and proposed that they learn by observing and imitating adults?

Bandura
Piaget
Freud
Vygotsky

The correct answer is: Piaget

Bandura, C and D each have their own theories but it does not involve children learning by inmitating adults. Bandura is known for his social cognitive theory which requires both cognitive and environmental factors for learning to occur, C is known for his Psychoanalytic theory which focuses on the influence of childhood experiences on adult behavior and D's socio-cultural theory focuses on the role of social interaction in cognitive development. Piaget's theory, however, emphasizes the importance of observation and imitation in learning and views children as active learners who construct knowledge through their experiences. Therefore, B is the most appropriate answer for this question.
