Under Edward Thorndike's Theory of Connectionism and Trial and Error, the 'Law of Readiness' is defined as a psychological state where if the nervous system is ready to conduct and is allowed to do so, it is satisfied, whereas if it is not ready and forced, it causes annoyance. Regarding its psychological implications and scientific management of student motivation, learning pace, and mental preparation in classroom teaching, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically valid?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation of the Law of Readiness
Edward Thorndike's Law of Readiness, one of the primary laws of connectionism, highlights that learning efficiency depends upon the learner's mental and neural preparedness.
- Internal Motivation: When students are mentally prepared to learn, the Stimulus-Response (S-R) bond strengthens, leading to satisfaction and permanent learning.
- Forced Learning: Conversely, if students are not mentally ready, forcing instruction creates annoyance and negatively impacts the learning process and motivation levels.
Therefore, option b is the most scientifically valid statement.
