LAWS OF LEARNING (EDWARD LEE THORNDIKE)

1. LAW OF EFFECT
 Learning is strengthened when accompanied by a pleasant or a satisfying feeling.
 Learning is weakened when associated with an unpleasant feeling.
 Leaning takes place properly when it results in satisfaction and the learner derives
pleasure out of it.

2. LAW OF EXERCISE
 Things most often repeated are best repeated.
 Students do not learn complex task in a single session.

3. LAW OF READINESS
 Individuals learn best when they are physically, mentally, and emotionally ready
to learn, and they do not learn well if they see no reason for learning.
