In his study of rats in mazes, Tolman concluded that the rats in the group that did not receive reinforcement for solving the maze had
A
learned the maze by wandering around in it and forming a cognitive map.
B
more interest in the reinforcement than did the other groups.
C
learned to expect reinforcement every tenth day.
D
been more motivated by the variable interval schedule of reinforcement.

Understand the context of Tolman's study: Tolman conducted experiments with rats in mazes to explore the concept of latent learning and cognitive maps.
Identify the key concept: Tolman proposed that rats could learn the layout of a maze without direct reinforcement, forming a 'cognitive map' of the maze.
Analyze the options: Consider how each option relates to Tolman's findings on cognitive maps and latent learning.
Evaluate the role of reinforcement: Recognize that Tolman's study showed that rats could learn the maze without immediate reinforcement, which challenges traditional behaviorist views.
Conclude with the correct interpretation: The rats learned the maze by forming a cognitive map, demonstrating that learning can occur without direct reinforcement.
