Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 1,656 times
Which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the real psychological implications of the 'Law of Readiness', 'Law of Exercise', and 'Law of Effect' proposed under Edward Thorndike's 'Trial and Error Theory of Learning', and the strengthening of neural bonds/synaptic connections through satisfactory student outcomes (satisfiers), the stabilization of responses through repetition, and the scientific management of intrinsic motivation in classroom instruction?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Edward Thorndike's Connectionism or Trial and Error Theory emphasizes the formation of neural bonds between Stimulus (S) and Response (R).
Key Concept
- Law of Effect: States that actions or responses followed by pleasant or satisfactory outcomes strengthen neural pathways and are repeated, serving as a primary scientific basis for effective learning management in the classroom.
Therefore, option B is the scientifically valid statement.
