Rats Placed in Well Learned Mazes

Question

Rats placed in well learned mazes
A) Cannot find their way to the reward site if they are placed in a new start position
B) Cannot find their way to the reward site if the maze is flooded, requiring swimming rather the previously used method of walking
C) Cannot find their way to the reward site if they are placed in a new start position and must swim rather the previously used method of walking
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Rats are highly adaptable and capable of learning complex tasks, including navigating mazes. They can find their way to a reward site even if they are placed in a new start position, if the maze is flooded (requiring swimming instead of walking), or both. This adaptability demonstrates their ability to apply learned knowledge to new situations and challenges.
