Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is D) latent learning, which refers to knowledge that is acquired through experience but not immediately apparent in behavior. Randy's ability to provide clear directions to the gas station despite never having visited it demonstrates latent learning. A) subliminal awareness refers to the perception of stimuli below the threshold of conscious awareness. B) trace conditioning involves the association of a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that naturally evokes a response. C) preparedness refers to the idea that certain behaviors are more easily learned because they are related to biologically prepared tendencies. None of these options accurately describe Randy's knowledge of the gas station.
