According to Edward Thorndike's 'Trial and Error Theory', the 'Law of Readiness' states that when a conduction unit is ready to conduct and is allowed to do so, it is satisfying, whereas when it is not ready and is forced, it causes annoyance. Considering its psychological implications and scientific management of student learning motivation, mental preparedness, and academic readiness in classroom teaching, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically valid?

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.

• Prepared State: Conduction units are ready, leading to satisfaction and enhanced learning efficacy.
• Unprepared State: Forcing learners before they are ready results in annoyance, mental stress, frustration, and resistance.

Therefore, Option (b) most authentically captures the psychological and classroom implications of this fundamental learning law.
