Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolman and Honzik's experiment with rats in a maze demonstrated that the rats were able to learn the layout of the maze without any apparent reinforcement, and that the reinforcement only became necessary when a reward was introduced. This showed evidence of latent learning, which suggested that learning can occur even without reinforcement.
