Question

Example of law of effect

Answer 1

Edward Thorndike proposed this principle of Law of Effect. According to this law, those behavior that are reinforced with positive outcomes have more chances of repetition, and those behaviors that are met with negative reinforcers have less chance of reoccurrence.
