Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolman's research showed that rats could develop a cognitive map of a maze without being reinforced, indicating that they were engaging in latent learning, or the acquisition of knowledge that is not immediately expressed in behavior. Operant conditioning involves learning through consequences, while classical conditioning involves learning through association. Stimulus discrimination involves learning to differentiate between different stimuli.
