Latent Learning:
Latent learning is a concept in psychology that refers to learning that occurs without apparent reinforcement or immediate manifestation in behavior. It was first studied by Edward Tolman through experiments with rats.
Hidden Learning:
Absence of Immediate Reinforcement:
Cognitive Maps:
Motivational Factors:
Real-world Application:
Latent learning challenges the behaviorist perspective by emphasizing the role of cognitive processes and the internal representation of information. It suggests that organisms can acquire knowledge without immediate reinforcement, and the learned information may only become apparent when relevant stimuli or motivations are present.
