    Correct option is D

    The laws of learning, primarily formulated by Edward Thorndike, include the Law of Effect (responses followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to be repeated), Law of Exercise (repeated practice strengthens learning), and Law of Readiness (learning is most effective when the learner is ready and motivated).

    Information Booster
    • Law of Effect: Behaviors followed by pleasant consequences are more likely to be repeated
    • Law of Exercise: Repeated practice and use strengthen learned responses (practice makes perfect)
    • Law of Readiness: Learning is most effective when the learner is mentally and physically prepared
    • These laws form the foundation of behavioral learning theory and educational psychology
    • They emphasize the importance of consequences, practice, and motivation in learning • Modern learning theories have expanded on these basic principles

    Additional Knowledge:
    ● Law of recency (B): This is a memory principle about better recall of recent items, not a law of learning
    ● Law of primacy (C): This is a memory principle about better recall of first items, not a law of learning
