Hull and Tolman were both, in theory, behavioral psychologists, however Tolman was more inclined towards a cognitive approach to behavioral psychology (i.e. theory of mind), and hence can be considered one of the early cognitive psychologists as well.

What is Tolman known for having discovered?

Edward Tolman is known for his research in cognitive psychology and his theory of latent learning. He showed that rats could learn to navigate a maze without reinforcement, demonstrating that learning can occur without immediate reward. This challenged traditional behaviorist ideas about the nature of learning.

Does Research by Edward Tolman demonstrated that only humans are capable of forming internal cognitive maps.?

No, Tolman's research with rats actually demonstrated that animals too are capable of forming cognitive maps to navigate their environments. He showed that animals can learn and remember the layout of their surroundings without just relying on external cues.


What is tolmans law of conditioning?

Tolman's Law of Conditioning is a cognitive theory that suggests that learning involves the formation of cognitive maps, or mental representations of the physical environment. According to Tolman, reinforcement serves to guide behavior and encourage goal-directed actions, rather than solely strengthening stimulus-response connections as in traditional behaviorist theories of conditioning.


What are Clark L Hull contributions?

Clark L. Hull was a prominent figure in the field of psychology known for his work on behaviorism and motivation theory. His main contributions include developing the drive reduction theory, which posits that behavior is motivated by the desire to reduce physiological needs, and his research on learning and habit formation. Hull's work laid the foundation for understanding the role of reinforcement and rewards in shaping behavior.
