According to the cognitive theory, learning occurs through the formation of associations between cues and expectancies or outcomes. In the experiment with the rat, if the rat actually received food, the cue (such as a particular sound or smell associated with the food) would be strengthened in its association with the expectancy of food. This is because the rat would learn to associate the cue with the positive outcome of receiving food, leading to an increase in the strength of the association between the cue and the expectancy. Therefore, choice B (cue; strengthened) is the best option.
