What is the actual psychological and pedagogical implication of the 'Law of Readiness' given under Edward Thorndike's 'Trial and Error Theory of Learning'?
✓ 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 states that learning takes place when an action tendency is aroused through preparatory adjustment, set, or attitude. Specifically:
- When a neurological pathway is ready to conduct, conduction is satisfying.
- When a pathway is ready and conduction is prevented, it causes annoyance.
- When a pathway is not ready and conduction is forced, it also causes annoyance.
Thus, readiness is closely linked to motivation and the neurological preparedness of the learner.
