Detailed explanation-1: -Latent learning is closely related to operant conditioning. Latent learning is important because it demonstrates that cognitive processing may play a part in learning. It proves that cognitive processing is involved through the use of rewards.
Detailed explanation-2: -Operant Conditioning is the ability to tailor an animals behavior using rewards and punishments. Latent Learning is tailoring an animals behavior by giving them time to create a mental map before a stimulus is introduced.
Detailed explanation-3: -Latent learning is a type of learning which is not apparent in the learner’s behavior at the time of learning, but which manifests later when a suitable motivation and circumstances appear. This shows that learning can occur without any reinforcement of a behavior. .
Detailed explanation-4: -Latent learning, also known as incidental learning, is a passive type of cognitive learning.
Detailed explanation-5: -The concept of latent learning demonstrates a cognitive principle of learning, by showing that a part of the human cognition observes behavior and learns by observing without showing any immediate signs of having learnt anything. Thus the cognitive principle of observational learning is confirmed.
