Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolman, Ritchie, and Kalish (1946) found that place learning was faster than response learning in their experiment. They trained rats to navigate a maze and found that rats who learned the spatial layout of the maze (place learning) were able to navigate it more quickly and accurately than rats who learned to respond to specific cues within the maze (response learning).
