Edward Tolman's research on latent learning and Albert Bandura's work on modelling both demonstrate that
A)learning only occurs when an organism is able to actually perform a behaviour
B)negative reinforcers appear to be most responsible for the creation of cognitive maps
C)learning can occur at a specific time yet not be displayed until later
D)classical and operant conditioning principles can be combined to explain behaviour

Tolman's research on latent learning showed that rats could learn the layout of a maze without reinforcement, only demonstrating this knowledge when a reward was introduced later. Bandura's work on observational learning (modeling) demonstrated that individuals can learn behaviors by observing others, even if they do not immediately imitate those behaviors. Both of these findings support the idea that learning can occur without immediate demonstration of the learned behavior.
