Chapter 5 Tolman's Learning Theory o 5.2.3 Latent learning: o By examining the figure, three things became apparent: (1)There is slight improvement in performance even in the group never receiving reinforcement;(2) the reinforced group showed steady improvement throughout the seventeen days of the experiment; and 3)when reinforcement was introduced on the eleventh day to the group not previously receiving reinforcement, their performance vastly improved. In fact, the last group performed even better than the group that was reinforced throughout the experiment. Tolman took the results to support his contention that reinforcement was a performance variable and not a learning variable.Chapter 5 Tolman’s Learning Theory ⚫ 5.2.3 Latent learning: ⚫ By examining the figure, three things became apparent: (1) There is slight improvement in performance even in the group never receiving reinforcement; (2) the reinforced group showed steady improvement throughout the seventeen days of the experiment; and (3) when reinforcement was introduced on the eleventh day to the group not previously receiving reinforcement, their performance vastly improved.
