Tolman's Sunburst Maze 80 Years on: A Meta-Analysis Reveals Poor Replicability and Little Evidence for Shortcutting
It shows that an 80-year-old study, despite being consistently used in lectures and talks to say that rats and humans can do shortcuts over unvisited space, has actually not been replicated and had many flaws. The most solid replication attempts find completely different results from the original experiment while those with somewhat similar results are underpowered or poorly designed.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions about it!
