Latent learning refers to knowledge that is acquired without any immediate reinforcement or rewards, and becomes apparent only when it is needed. In this scenario, the ability to navigate to the post office without having previously taken that specific route demonstrates latent learning, as the knowledge of the town's layout was acquired without direct reinforcement and was utilized when necessary.
