Which one of the following is not included in the Thorndike's secondary laws of learning?
- ALaw of partial activity
- BLaw of action-reaction
- CLaw of analogy
- DLaw of multiple response
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Edward Lee Thorndike proposed two main sets of laws regarding learning:
Primary Laws: Law of Readiness, Law of Exercise, and Law of Effect.
Secondary/Subordinate Laws: Law of Multiple Response, Law of Set or Attitude, Law of Partial Activity, Law of Analogy (or Assimilation), and Law of Associative Shifting.
The 'Law of action-reaction' is a fundamental law of classical physical mechanics (Newton's Third Law), not a law of psychological learning formulated by Thorndike.
