Answer 1

Answer:

The ability of rats to demonstrate their learned knowledge of the maze layout once the food was presented is known as latent learning.

Explanation:

Latent learning refers to learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement or motivation to learn. In this scenario, the rats learned the maze layout while wandering through it without any reward. Still, this learning became evident when a food reward was introduced, indicating that they had acquired knowledge of the maze even though they did not demonstrate it until a reward was provided.
