Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cindy's ability to walk to school without getting lost despite not having done so before suggests the use of latent learning, as she has acquired knowledge or skills through experience without it being immediately demonstrated in behavior. She did not demonstrate insight, as she likely utilized existing knowledge of the area rather than suddenly realizing the solution to the problem. Observational learning and vicarious experience both involve learning through observation of others, which is not applicable in this scenario.
