Response learning is when the rat knows that the response of going a certain way in the maze will always lead to food; place learning is when the rats learn to associate the food in a specific spot each time.
Vastuse õppimine seisneb selles, kui rott teab, et kindlas suunas labürindis liikumine viib ta alati toiduni; koha õppimine on aga see, kui rott õpib igal korral seostama toidu olemasolu kindla kohaga.
