When analyzing the 'Law of Use and Disuse' and the 'Law of Effect' under the 'Primary Laws of Learning' propounded by Edward Thorndike, which of the following statements is most authentically and scientifically true regarding their internal functioning and educational implications?

Detailed Explanation & Solution

Edward Thorndike proposed three primary laws under his Stimulus-Response (S-R) bond theory—the law of readiness, the law of use, and the law of effect. The law of use is based on 'use' and 'disuse', which strengthens or weakens connections through mechanical repetition. Meanwhile, the law of effect states that actions leading to satisfying outcomes strengthen the bond. For a detailed study of this psychological process, you can refer to Thorndike's contribution.
