Tolman & Honzik found that rats that were rewarded every day and rats that started receiving rewards on the 11th day learned the maze equally well, suggesting that the rats had formed a cognitive map of the maze rather than simply learning a set of stimulus-response associations. The rats that were never rewarded did not learn the maze as well as the other two groups. Therefore, choice C is the best answer as it accurately reflects the result of the study.
