Edward Thorndike

Edward Thorndike was considered to be

• A psychologist for educators

• Catholic

• The first educator of pedagogy related courses.

• The father of psychology.

The study of animal behavior is instructive to human psychology because

• Our brain size is the same

• Animals learn through imitation like us

• It has a constant evolution

• Of the levels of frequency

He was under the influence of:

• Isaac Newton

• Gregor Mendel

• Charles Darwin

• Alfred Russel Wallace

He was associated to

• Connectivism, associationism and selectionism

• Associationism and pluralism

• Associationism, pluralism and selectionism

• Connectivism, associationism and pluralism

Thorndike said that animals don’t learn through imitation but through

• Observation

• Animals can’t learn

• Stimulus

• Explanation

The Law of effect by Edward Thorndike was tested for the first time in

• A monky

• A horse

• A cat

• A dog

The main characteristic of the law of effect is

• Learning by practicing or repeating something while having stimulation to do anything or to learn

• Learning by a traditional class

• Learning by making whatever they want to do

• Learning by having animals inside the classroom

Why is this theory tested in a cat learning process used in human beings' learning processes?

• Because human beings are able to do everything that cats do

• Because We belong to the same Kingdom ( animal kingdom)

• Because cats and humans can have a conversation

• Because cats enjoy being tested in all hypotheses

Every time the cat of the experiment was put into the box he/she

• Slept more time into the box.

• Wasted less time to get out of the box than the previous one

• Found a different way to get out of the box

• Decided to do anything to escape

A way to implement the law of effect as a future teacher in our classroom may be

• Given students a punishment after doing a task

• Make a traditional environment inside the classroom

• Providing stimulus to students

• Do not give a reward to learners in any situation
