Mirror neurons

Explanation:

Mirror neuron: The term mirror neuron is defined as a neuron which is responsible for firing in both the conditions i. e when an individual or an animal acts on something as well as when he animal or an individual tends to observe the similar actions being performed by another person. Therefore, the specific neuron tends to 'mirror' a particular behavior led by someone else as if the observer himself or herself is acting.

In the question above, the given statement represents that Anna's method of learning is determined by the mirror neurons.
