✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Thorndike's Law of Effect
Edward Thorndike proposed three primary laws of learning under his Trial and Error Theory: the Law of Readiness, the Law of Exercise, and the Law of Effect.
The Law of Effect states that:
- Responses that are followed by pleasant or satisfying consequences are strengthened and more likely to recur in similar situations.
- Responses followed by unpleasant, annoying, or unsatisfactory consequences are weakened and less likely to recur.
Therefore, option (a) accurately captures the core psychological principle of reward, satisfaction, and reinforcement inherent in Thorndike's theory.
