Edward Tolman had three groups of rats. Group A got reinforced for running the maze. B did not. C did not at first, but in the second half of trials, started to. What Group C proved was that the rats had knowledge of the maze, but needed some reinforcement to achieve their full learning potential. Because their learning was "hidden", Tolman called it...
