• Neo behaviorism aimed to free psychology of mentalistic concepts, while classical behaviorism did not

• Neo behaviorism emphasized empirical observation of behavior, while classical behaviorism did not

According to Edward Chance Tolman, what is the key concept of learning?

• Learning is always random and unpredictable

• Learning is always purposive and goal-directed

• Learning is always passive and reactive

• Learning is always instinctual and automatic

What did Tolman's experiment with rats in a maze demonstrate?

• Rats are unable to learn the maze layout

• Rats learn specific sequences of turns in the maze

• Rats rely solely on instinct to navigate the maze

• Rats form cognitive maps to learn the location of food in the maze

What is latent learning according to Tolman?

• Learning that is only observed in social settings

• Learning that requires constant reinforcement

• Learning that is not outwardly manifested at once

• Learning that is immediately applied in behavior

In Tolman's experiment with rats and cognitive maps, what did the rats do when they needed to demonstrate their knowledge of the maze?

• They forgot everything they learned

• They formed cognitive maps of the maze

• They immediately showed their knowledge of the maze

• They refused to participate in the experiment

How did Tolman apply the concept of cognitive maps in human learning?

• By discouraging students from using maps or directions

• By helping students navigate familiar routes more efficiently

• By encouraging students to rely on instinctual responses

• By teaching students to memorize specific sequences of actions

What did Tolman believe individuals do beyond merely responding to stimuli?

• They rely solely on external reinforcement

• They act on beliefs, attitudes, changing conditions, and strive toward goals

• They follow a predetermined set of actions

• They have no control over their behavior
