Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 4,738 times
Under Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Connectionism', which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the true psychological implications of the 'Law of Readiness', the 'Law of Exercise' (including use and disuse), and the 'Law of Effect', along with the consolidation of students' neural pathways, the effectiveness of reward and punishment, and the scientific management of cognitive satisfaction in classroom instruction?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Pedagogical Explanation
According to Edward Thorndike's Trial and Error or Connectionism theory, the three primary laws form the foundation of learning:
- Law of Readiness: States that when a conduction unit is ready to conduct, for it to do so is satisfying. When it is not ready, to conduct is annoying. This guides instructional design for student engagement.
- Law of Effect: Satisfying consequences strengthen S-R bonds, while annoying consequences weaken them.
- Law of Exercise: Practice strengthens pathways (use), and disuse weakens them.
Therefore, option B is the scientifically valid statement.
