An example of this would be if April was to watch Steve put his hand into a bucket of boiling water and then remove his hand from the bucket with burn marks, peeling skin and noticable pain, April would learn from watching this that to put her own hand in a bucket of boiling water is bad. This is because of Vicarious reinforcement.----
