Which of the following forms part of the revised basic types of Learning in Tolman’s system ?

Tolman’s theory of learning:

Edward C. Tolman (1886-1959) developed a theory of learning, combining the advantages of Stimulus-Response theories and Cognitive Field Theories. His system stands in between S-R theories and cognitive field theories. His system was rooted in behaviourism but he was opposed to S-R associationism. He developed a system which recognizes the cognitive aspect of behaviour without sacrificing the objectivity of behaviourism.

Tolman revised his theory of learning in 1949 and distinguished six types of learning:

1. Cathexis: it explains the final type of positive or negative objects to basic drive. Like the connection between a given type of food and hunger.
2. Equivalence beliefs: Connection between positively cathected objects and a type of sub- disturbance of objects.
3. Field expectancy: It is developed in the organism when certain environment set-up is repeatedly presented to him.
4. Field cognition mode: New mode of remembering and perceiving the objects of the environment.
5. Drive discrimination: There is a definite relationship between the type of drive and mode of response.
6. Motor pattern: Tolman admits that motor patterns are conditioned.

Conclusion: Tolman’s revised theory include field cognition mode. Hence, option (2) is correct.
