Wangngchuk Norbu · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  This statement describes latent learning because the woman knows where the hat store is even though she has never shopped there before, implying that she has learned the location of the store through observational learning or past experiences, but this learning was not immediately evident to others. This type of learning is known as latent learning because it may not manifest until there is an opportunity to use it.
