Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Karl Lashley hoped to discover the precise spot in the brain where learning occurs by studying how rats would act towards a previously learned process after removing parts of their brains

Karl Lashley developed the equipotentiality hypothesis through this process. during his study he trained some rats on the correct route in a maze before damaging/removing some parts of their brain. he did this to know if he can be able to remove the precise spot for learning. but the rats still found their way inside the maze.
