For this question, we need to determine which answer choice best matches with thorndike's law of effect.
00:08
So in order to answer this question, we first need to understand thorndike's law of effect.
00:14
So essentially, thorndike's law of effect states that behaviors followed by pleasant or rewarding consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by unpleasant consequences are less likely to be repeated.
00:31
So let's see which answer choice best matches with this definition of thorndike's law of effect.
00:38
Answer choice one says that species -specific biological predispositions favor some learning styles over others.
00:46
Now, this is not going to be the correct answer, because thorndike's law of effect has nothing to do with learning styles.
00:53
Answer choice two says the behaviors followed by satisfying outcomes are strengthened and behaviors followed by frustrating outcomes are weakened now this might be the correct answer choice because this very closely aligns with the definition we wrote down which focuses on how some behaviors followed by pleasant consequences are more likely to be repeated while behaviors followed by unpleasant consequences are less likely to be repeated.
01:24
Similarly, answer choice 2 specifies between behaviors followed by satisfying outcomes, which are strengthened, and behaviors followed by frustrating outcomes, which are weakened...
