Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kalliyan is exhibiting latent learning, which refers to learning that occurs without behavior being shown until there is an incentive to demonstrate it. She has acquired knowledge of the new route without ever using it before, likely through previous exposure or hearing about it, and is only now demonstrating it due to the closure of her usual road. Shaping, instinctive drift, and preparedness do not accurately describe Kalliyan's behavior in this scenario.
