Law of Readiness
•States that when an organism is ready to act it is reinforcing for it to do so, and annoying for it not
to do so.

determined by how often the connection is used.

Modification of the Law of Exercise
• Practice worked only when other factors could be made effective.

Law of Effect
•The strengthening or weakening of a connection by its
consequences.

Modification of the Law of Effect
•Satisfaction strengthen the connection but annoyance does not weaken it;
rather, annoyance aids learning as it encourages the learner to try
something new.

The Spread of Effect
•The observation is that reinforcement not only strengthens the response
that produces it, but that it strengthens neighboring responses as
well.

Theory of Transfer
•States that the likelihood of something which was learned in one situation being applied in a different situation is determined
by the number of common elements in the two situations.
