Roddy spent his childhood watching his father fix cars. Roddy's father never actually let Roddy help, but he did agree to perch Roddy in a nearby chair so he could see what was going on. As a young adult, when Roddy purchased his first car, he was able to fix and maintain every aspect of it. What is going on here?
a)  Roddy acquired latent learning that was later enacted in performance.
b)  Roddy knew his father would disapprove if Roddy did not know how to fix cars, so he secretly worked on junker cars while growing up.
