D) Move the activity outdoors without explaining the reason so the scheduled lesson can continues
  • 8. A student watches classmates use a new software tool during several activities. Weeks later, when assigned a project, the student successfully applies the same steps without having practiced them for a reward. Which interpretation best fits the lesson?
A) Learning may have developed through observation and become evident when a meaningful goal required the knowledge.
B) The performance is unrelated to prior observation because purposive learning occurs only after direct rewards.
C) The student could not have learned earlier because reinforcement was absent during the observation period.

B) They may have developed a latent mental map that became evident when the situation required it.
C) They could not have learned the route because no reinforcement was given during ordinary movement.
D) They relied primarily on memorized verbal rules because spatial learning depends on explicit instruction.
