Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 3,850 times
Under Edward Thorndike's theory of Connectionism or Law of Learning, the concept of the 'Law of Readiness'—where the readiness of neurological connections and neurological conduction units relates to satisfaction or annoyance—relates to the actual psychological implications and scientific management of student motivation, cognitive maturity, and overcoming learning plateaus in classroom instruction. Which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation of the Law of Readiness
Edward Thorndike's Law of Readiness, one of his primary laws of connectionism, is based on the psychological truth that when a neural pathway or drive is ready to act, conduction is satisfying. Conversely, when a pathway is not ready and is forced to act or is obstructed, it causes annoyance and frustration.
- Classroom Implication: Teachers must assess students' mental, emotional, and cognitive readiness before introducing new concepts.
- Preventing Plateaus: Ignoring cognitive readiness leads to learning plateaus, frustration, and a lack of motivation in students.
Therefore, option C is the most scientifically accurate statement regarding this psychological principle.
