law of effect

Pleasurable or painful experience, above minimum level but not beyond maximum intensity, strengthens the bond between stimulus and response {law of effect}. People learn, remember, and repeat actions that immediately lead to pleasure, and these become habits. People do not remember actions leading to pain, to avoid painful behavior later [Thorndike, 1903] [Thorndike, 1911].

law of exercise

Repeating response under good conditions strengthens stimulus-response association, and reinforcement increases practice {law of exercise} {law of use} [Thorndike, 1903] [Thorndike, 1911].

law of readiness

Learning can happen if learner can respond, has interest, has background knowledge, is mature enough, and has motivation {law of readiness} [Thorndike, 1903] [Thorndike, 1911].

response-response law

Behaviors can be similar to previous behaviors {response-response law} (R-R law).

stimulus-response law

Behaviors can always happen, given environment states or events {stimulus-response law} (S-R law).
