Explanation

Production, attention, retention and motivation are the four elements of observational learning.

Attention (item 2) is needed to observe the model closely.

Retention (item 4) stores the observed behaviour in memory.

Production (item 1) reproduces the retained behaviour as action.

Motivation (item 5) decides whether the learner performs it.

Identification (item 3) is not a Bandura element; his social learning theory names these four.
