Question

edward tolman explained the results of his study by theorizing that the rats were learning about the maze during every trial but they ____________, a. were agitated because other groups were getting reinforcement b. could not remember how to demonstrate it without reinforcement c. were not motivated to demonstrate it without reinforcement d. seemed to be too lazy to actually work without reinforcement please select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Explanation:

Edward Tolman's latent learning theory suggests that learning can occur without immediate reinforcement. Rats learned the maze (latent learning) but only showed this learning when motivated (e.g., by reinforcement). Options A, B, and D do not align with his theory. Option C correctly reflects the lack of motivation without reinforcement as per his work.

Answer:

C. were not motivated to demonstrate it without reinforcement
