If rats are allowed to wander through a complicated maze, they will subsequently run the maze with few errors when a food reward is placed at the end. Their good performance demonstrates

latent learning

Explanation:

Their good performance demonstrates latent learning. Meaning that since the rats were allowed to wander the maze they were learning how to navigate its complicated path the more time they spent there. Once the food was introduced as a reward, the rats began demonstrating how much of the maze they learned and memorized by quickly navigating their way through it for the food. They didn't demonstrate their knowledge of the maze before because they had no motivation to do so, until the food was introduced.
