✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Thorndike's Law of Readiness
Edward Thorndike's Law of Readiness is one of his primary laws of learning within connectionism. It states that learning is dependent upon the learner's readiness to act, which significantly affects satisfaction and annoyance.
- Neural Conduction: When a conduction unit is ready to conduct and does so, it is satisfying for the organism.
- Impediment: When conduction is forced upon an unready unit, it results in annoyance or frustration.
- Pedagogical Implication: Teachers must assess students' mental, emotional, and physical readiness before introducing new concepts to maximize learning efficiency.
Therefore, option B accurately describes the neurological basis and psychological manifestation of the Law of Readiness.
