It's both. As Yogi Berra said, "You can observe a lot by just watching." So
the model is a bunch of "This happened, and thus that happened", where "I did
this" is a particularly important special case of "this happened". But
watching someone else do something is key to imitation, which is key to
learning.

Do you have some interesting links about imitation? I've found these,
not all of them interesting, I'm just showing what I have:
