Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Indicate your answer using the codes given below :
Assertion (A) : In a maze learning experiment rats who were reinforced from the beginning and those which were not reinforced until the eleventh day of the experiment, did not show any difference in learning and performance.
Reason (R) : It is possible for learning to remain dormant for a considerable length of time before it is manifested in behaviour.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are true and R explains A. In the latent learning experiments of Tolman and Honzik, rats rewarded only from the eleventh day did as well as the always rewarded rats soon after reward began, so the learning had already happened.
R states that learning can stay dormant for a long time before it shows in behaviour, which explains why the late-rewarded group was not behind. The options that deny R or its link to A are wrong.
