Detailed Explanation & Solution
Explanation of the Law of Readiness
Edward Thorndike's Law of Readiness states that learning takes place when an action tendency is aroused through preparatory adjustment, set, or attitude. Specifically:
- When a neurological pathway is ready to conduct, conduction is satisfying.
- When a pathway is ready and conduction is prevented, it causes annoyance.
- When a pathway is not ready and conduction is forced, it also causes annoyance.
Thus, readiness is closely linked to motivation and the neurological preparedness of the learner.
