Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethan's ability to tackle tough geometry problems after weeks of practice and experience with drawing figures suggests that he has developed a learning set, which refers to a group of learning responses that are strengthened through practice and repetition. Latent learning refers to learning that is not immediately apparent and only becomes apparent when there is an incentive to demonstrate it. Cognitive maps refer to mental representations of physical locations and connections refer to the links between different ideas or concepts.
