tells us that the more an S-R (stimulus-response) bond is practiced the stronger it will become.

• Law of Effect

• Law of Readiness

• Law of Exercise

tells us that the more an S-R (This states that the more readiness the learner has to respond to the stimulus, the stronger will be the bond between them.stimulus-response) bond is practiced the stronger it will become.

• Law of Effect

• Law of Readiness

• Law of Exercise
