Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolman's proposal was that rats developed cognitive maps, which are mental representations of spatial layouts, during their learning trials in a maze. Token economies refer to a system of rewards and punishments used to shape behavior, shaping is a process of gradually achieving a desired behavior, and learning histories are a record of a person's past learning experiences. None of these concepts are directly related to Tolman's theory of cognitive maps.
