With reference to Thorndike's Trial and Error Theory of learning, which of the following laws is not included under the 'Secondary Laws' of learning?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Thorndike has mainly described two types of laws of learning: Primary Laws and Secondary Laws. Three laws come under primary laws: Law of Readiness, Law of Exercise, and Law of Effect. On the other hand, five laws come under secondary laws: Law of Multiple Response, Law of Partial Activity, Law of Set or Attitude, Law of Assimilation, and Law of Associative Shifting. Therefore, the 'Law of Effect' is a primary law, not a secondary law.
