Cheryl hears a new song on the radio every day during the week on her commute to work.Surprisingly,when the song comes on at a party on Saturday night,she knows most of the words without trying.
A) Describe the three ways that we use cognition to learn without reinforcement.
B) Which type of cognitive learning without reinforcement best explains how Cheryl knew the song lyrics? Explain your answer.

On May 01, 2024


A) There are three main types of learning that occur without reinforcement.(1) Cognitive map-a visual and spatial representation of an environment that exists in our minds.(2) Latent learning-learning that takes place in the absence of reinforcement and is not always immediately obvious.(3) Insight learning-a sudden understanding of a problem after a period of inaction or time spent thinking about the problem.
B) Cheryl's behavior can best be explained by latent learning.Although she was not aware that she had been processing the words to the song while she was in the car (or even paying that much attention),her ability to sing the song after this repeated exposure suggests that her brain was gradually learning this information.
