Detailed Explanation
Among Thorndike's primary laws of learning, the 'Law of Readiness' is also known as the 'Law of Action or Satisfaction/Annoyance'. According to this, when a nervous system is ready to act and is allowed to do so, the individual feels satisfaction, which accelerates the learning process. Conversely, annoyance occurs if the action is denied when ready or forced upon unwillingly.
