In this video I explain the concept of latent learning using two studies conducted by Edward Tolman and colleagues. Latent learning refers to learning that occurs without reinforcement and isn't demonstrated until an opportunity arises. I also describe the idea of a cognitive map and how it supports the existence of internal mental representations.
