Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rats that were initially not reinforced, then started getting reinforcement halfway through the study showed evidence of latent learning. They showed improved performance once they started receiving reinforcement, indicating that they had learned the maze without the presence of reinforcement. The other groups either had consistent reinforcement or no reinforcement, so they did not show evidence of latent learning. The previous experience of rats in a previous study is not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be the answer.
