Exam 12: Edward Chace Tolman

Tolman and his colleagues found that when a rat was forced to take a relatively long route to a goal but was able to see the goal and was later given the opportunity to choose many routes to the goal, it would tend to choose:

Problem solving strategies that are probably innate but can be modified by experience are called:

After learning to traverse a runway to obtain food, an animal is now shown that food is no longer available in the goal box.This can result in:

Tolman reported an experiment in which it was found that switching the kind of reinforcement a rat received disrupted the rat's behavior.Tolman's explanation was that:

Tolman's system was all of the following except:

? OBO symbolizes:

Tolman's findings concerning place learning indicated that:

You go to your post office expecting mail and find some there.This is an example of what Tolman called:

Early tentative expectations are called:

By "purposive" Tolman meant:

can be thought of as learning that is not translated into performance.

If, after a cognitive map has been formed, a commonly used means of obtaining food is blocked, the organism will:

According to Tolman, latent extinction results when:

Learning to associate certain objects with certain drive states is called in Tolman's theory.

Maintenance schedule is related to which of the following intervening variables?

In Tolman's theory, which of the following is closest to the concept of secondary reinforcement?

A rat learns the spatial relations of a maze in a nonreinforcement situation, and later uses this knowledge when a food reinforcement is presented.This is called:

According to Tolman, an organism will always choose the route to a goal that requires the least amount of work.This fact is referred to as the:

A consistently confirmed expectation becomes:

For Tolman drive was important for:
