Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The psychologist known for latent learning and cognitive maps is Edward Tolman.

Explanation:

Edward Tolman was an American psychologist. He became known for his work in the field of learning theory and is considered a pioneer of cognitivism.

He was mainly interested in the problems of learning in the context of behaviorism. Behavior, Tolman argues, cannot be reduced to the stimulus-response pattern. The organism is not only "reactive"; it acts according to a specific aim. In his theory, Tolman takes into account behaviorism, functionalism and the psychology of form. His idea is that one cannot do without the notion of "design", of "pursued goal", neither in humans nor in animals.  Tolman also developed the concept of the “cognitive map”.
