Question

In the Tolman and Honzik experiment, rats learned a complex maze. The sudden change in the number of errors per trial with the introduction/removal of a food reward shows the effects of
a. drive.
b. instinct.
c. incentive.
d. psychological need.

Answer 1

Answer:

c. incentive.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this sudden change shows the effects of incentives within the experiment. This term refers to a constant motivator for the test subjects which is a reward that the test subjects get if they perform a desired action or outcome. Which in this case the food reward was the incentive that the rats wanted in order to complete the complex maze with less errors.
