Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 3,196 times
According to Edward Thorndike's 'Law of Readiness' under the Theory of Connectionism or Trial and Error—which states that when a conduction unit is ready to conduct and is allowed to do so, it is satisfying, whereas when it is forced not to conduct, it leads to annoyance—which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding its actual psychological implications and the scientific management of students' learning speed, mental preparation, and motivation in classroom teaching?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Edward Thorndike's Theory of Connectionism, the Law of Readiness is one of the primary laws of learning. It clarifies that the mental and physical preparation of the learner determines the success of the learning process.
Key Implications:
- Internal Motivation: When a student is internally and mentally prepared to learn, their nervous system is ready to perform the task, making learning satisfying and effective.
- Obstacles to Learning: Conversely, forcing instruction without adequate preparation leads to annoyance and hinders learning.
Therefore, option (b) most accurately defines the classroom implications of this psychological concept.
