Which of the following is true concerning Tolman and Honzik's classic study of latent learning?

A) Rats were able to learn without receiving reinforcement.
B) Rats learned when receiving punishment but not when receiving reinforcement.
C) Rats were not able to learn if reinforcement was withheld for long periods of time.
D) Rats learned only when reinforcement was presented immediately following behavior.

Answer: A
Rationale: Tolman's studies of latent learning indicate that rats are capable of more than just forming simple associations and behavioral responses. The fact that the rats learned the maze without reinforcement indicates that they had formed a cognitive map or representation of the maze.
