Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolman and Honzik's experiment on latent learning demonstrated that reinforcement is not necessary for learning to occur, but it is necessary for the learned behavior to be demonstrated, or performed. This means that animals (or humans) can learn the layout of a maze, for example, without any reinforcement, but they will not demonstrate this knowledge until they are given a reason to do so, such as a reward.
