Tolman's study on rats learning to navigate a maze based on the location of food rather than a series of left-right turns led to the concept of a cognitive map. A cognitive map is a mental representation of spatial relationships between objects in the environment. The other options - retroactive disinhibition, spontaneous recovery, and response blockage - are all related to different types of learning and memory processes but are not directly related to Tolman's concept of a cognitive map.
