Asked 3 weeks ago · Viewed 3,986 times
Which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the real psychological implications of Edward Thorndike's 'Trial and Error Theory of Learning'—specifically its central rule, the 'Law of Readiness', defined as the psychological state where when a neural pathway is fully prepared to act and is allowed to do so, it gives a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction, and vice versa leads to annoyance or dissatisfaction—and its scientific operation in classroom teaching for student motivation, mental preparation, and learning effectiveness?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
One of Thorndike's primary laws of learning, the 'Law of Readiness', clarifies that learning is effective and satisfying only when the learner is mentally and physically ready to learn that task. In classroom teaching, a teacher should create a state of 'readiness' by arousing prior knowledge and increasing student interest and motivation, allowing their cognitive system to easily assimilate knowledge.
