Below are statements that are all correct. Which ones explain why the cognitive revolution happened?
1. In Tolman's study, rats seemed to have acquired mental maps, which explained their behavior in a new maze better than their previously conditioned responses.
2. Behaviorists had significant contributions to psychology, such as explaining fear acquisition, taste aversion, animal training, among others.
3. Children learning English will sometimes generate rules on their own (example: the ending -ed conjugates verbs in past tense) and incorrectly apply them to new
words (example: swimmed), demonstrating that reinforcement is not sufficient to explain language acquisition.

4. Even though structuralists like Wundt and Titchener wanted to study unobservable mental representations, their use of introspection did not take them very far in
understanding these mental representations.
5. The behaviorist approach to study only what was observable meant that the role of beliefs, preferences, or goals could not be examined as potential explanations of
behavior.
