Which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the actual psychological implications of the primary laws—(1) Law of Readiness, (2) Law of Exercise, and (3) Law of Effect—propounded under Edward Thorndike's 'Connectionism' or 'Trial and Error Theory', and their scientific management for the reinforcement of students' satisfactory responses, neural maturation pathways, and error-free skill acquisition in classroom teaching?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
Edward Thorndike's theory of Connectionism or Trial and Error emphasizes several primary and secondary laws of learning.
- Law of Effect: States that responses followed by satisfying states are strengthened (S-R bond is reinforced), while those followed by annoying states are weakened.
- Law of Readiness: Pertains to neurological preparedness. When a conduction unit is ready to conduct, conduction is satisfying; when not ready, conduction is annoying.
- Classroom Implication: These laws scientifically guide teachers in managing student responses, ensuring mental readiness, and reinforcing correct behaviors effectively.
Therefore, Option A is the most scientifically accurate statement.
