I'm off
My dear friend Jane is flying in to Tuscon and we're off with my pot of stew to go see what all the ruckus at Quartzsite AZ is about. Something drags the RV crowd out there this time of year and we're going to check it out.

Observational Learning
[Learning by watching] is called observational learning. When it comes to evolutionary fears, as well as to many other areas of learning, animals and people learn by watching what other animals or people do, not by doing something themselves and learning from the consequences. I have the impression this lesson hasn't quite been absorbed by most educators. You read that hands-on learning is best, but that may not always be so. Obviously evolution has selected for strong observational learning in animals and in humans.
