Question

Define learning and state primary law of learning?

Answer 1

(i) Learning may be defined as the process by which behaviour originates or is altered through training or experience .
(ii) It is regarded as modification of both behaviour and the way of perceiving.
Primary laws of learning are as follow-
(1) Law of effect - is a satisfying effect following the response strengthens the connection between stimulus and the behaviour.
(2) Law of exercise - repetition of experience increases the probability of a correct response but it will not enhance learning without a satisfying effect following the response.
(3) Law of readiness - The execution of an action in response to a strong impulse is satisfying but the blocking of action or forcing is annoying.
