Detailed explanation-1: -Law of effect. The law of effect states that if a response in the presence of a stimulus is followed by a satisfying event, the association between the stimulus and the response is strengthened. If followed by an annoying even, the S-R association is weakened.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Edward L. Thorndike. The law of effect stated that those behavioral responses that were most closely followed by a satisfying result were most likely to become established patterns and to occur again in response to the same stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Law of Effect-also referred to as Thorndike’s law of effect-came out of Thorndike’s experiments with animals, typically cats. Thorndike would place a cat in a puzzle box that had a small lever on one side.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Law of Effect This is the strengthening or weakening of a connection between a stimulus and a response as a result of the consequences of the response. If the response is followed by a ‘satisfying state of affairs, ’ the strength of the connection is increased.
