Detailed Explanation
Understanding Thorndike's Law of Readiness
Edward Thorndike's Law of Readiness highlights that learning is both a biological and psychological process. When a learner's mental and physical systems are prepared to perform an action, execution brings satisfaction and the learning becomes permanent.

- Unprepared State: Forcing learners before they are ready results in annoyance, mental stress, frustration, and resistance.
