    Answer: This scenario best illustrates the concept of latent learning

    Explanation:

    Latent learning is a form of learning that has already taken place without being shown through observable behaviours. It is sometimes seen or referred to as that particular form of knowledge acquisition that becomes more obvious the moment an individual has a reason to express it. Latent learning can be viewed as the unintentional retention of information without being motivated/reinforced.

    In this instance, what Mateo displayed was latent learning because, as he accompanied his mother severally to school, she never knew that learning activity was taking place until there was a need for him to display the learned trait; He then did by walking ahead of his mother, following a path to the kindergarten hallway assuming that they came for his brother

    Latent learning

    Explanation:

    For many years Mateo has been going to the same room to read stories with his mother. He knows the way to the classroom and he has been doing this for may years. He has learned the routine of waking up, getting dressed and walking to the classroom. Finally on the day of his first day of school, he does not perceive the action as being strange to him. He has perfected the routine and knows what comes next and what to expect when entering the familiar room.
