Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cognitive map is a mental representation of one's physical environment, including landmarks and spatial relationships. In this situation, George recognizes the sign for Madison Street and is able to orient himself and navigate to Ryan's house using his cognitive map. Insight learning refers to the sudden realization of a solution to a problem, which does not apply in this scenario. Positive reinforcement and positive punishment involve the application of consequences to increase or decrease behavior, respectively, and are also not applicable in this situation.
