Question: 1 / 400

How does the 'Law of exercise' contribute to learning, according to Thorndike?

By promoting rest

Through repetition

Thorndike's 'Law of Exercise' states that the more a particular stimulus and response are repeated, the stronger the connection between them becomes. This strengthens the bond between the stimulus and response, making it more likely for the response to occur in the future. This directly contributes to the process of learning. Option A, promoting rest, does not directly relate to the process of learning and therefore is not the correct answer. Option C, via theoretical knowledge, suggests that theoretical knowledge alone is enough for learning to occur, which is not necessarily true according to Thorndike's theory. Option D, through observation, suggests that learning occurs solely through observing others, which is also not accurate according to Thorndike's theory. It is through active repetition and strengthening of the stimulus-response connection that the 'Law of Exercise' contributes to learning, making option B the correct answer.
