Detailed Explanation & Solution
According to Thorndike's Connectionism, the 'Law of Readiness' clarifies that when a conduction unit is ready to function and is allowed to do so, it brings satisfaction which facilitates learning. Conversely, if it is prevented from acting or forced to act unwillingly, dissatisfaction arises. This law forms the basis for assessing students' mental preparation and readiness in the classroom.
