Answer:

D) Edward Tolman

Step-by-step explanation:

Tolman discovered that rats process environmental information to trace routes within an space, rather than just moving by particular stimulus. Tolman extrapolate this results to human activity and found the same results: the existence of a 'cognitive map' which contains information of space, like colors, textures and odours. All this information is processed for finding the best result posible in space-orienteed problems.
