Tolman's experiments on _________________ called attention to the important distinction between performance and learning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolman's experiments on latent learning showed that animals could learn without any reinforcement, but their performance only improved when they received reinforcement. This distinction between learning and performance became an important principle in the study of behavior and cognition. The other options (experimental extinction, stimulus generalization, cognitive maps) were also topics studied by Tolman, but they do not directly relate to the distinction between learning and performance.
