Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 4,569 times
Which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the actual psychological implications and scientific management of students' satisfactory outcomes, automation of responses, and mental preparation for learning in classroom instruction, as propounded under Edward Thorndike's Connectionism / Trial and Error Theory's primary laws—(1) Law of Readiness, (2) Law of Exercise (including use and disuse), and (3) Law of Effect?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Thorndike's Primary Laws of Learning
According to Edward Thorndike's Connectionism or Trial and Error Theory, learning occurs through the formation of connections or 'S-R Bonds' between a Stimulus and a Response. Thorndike proposed three primary laws:
- Law of Readiness: Indicates that when a neural pathway is ready to conduct, conduction is satisfying, and when not ready, annoyance or frustration occurs.
- Law of Exercise: Includes the sub-laws of use and disuse, where practice strengthens neural connections and lack of practice weakens them.
- Law of Effect: Highlights that satisfying or pleasant consequences strengthen the S-R bond, while unpleasant consequences weaken it.
In classroom instruction, these three laws are scientifically highly authentic in ensuring permanent learning through students' mental preparation, skill development via frequency, and positive reinforcement. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
