    Thorndike's Theory of Connectionism proposes that learning occurs through the formation of associations between stimuli and responses. The theory consists of three primary laws: the Law of Readiness states that readiness to respond strengthens stimulus-response bonds; the Law of Exercise holds that frequently practiced stimulus-response bonds are strengthened; and the Law of Effect says that consequences determine whether bonds are strengthened or weakened. Key principles derived from the theory are that learning requires practice and rewards, stimulus-response connections can be chained together, transfer of learning occurs from previous experiences, and intelligence depends on the number of connections formed.

    Edward L. Thorndike’s Theory of Connectionism

    Connectionism Theory
    • Gave us the original S-R framework of behavioral psychology.
    • Learning is the result of associations forming between stimuli and response.
    • The model of S-R Theory was a trial and error learning.

    Three Primary Laws:


    • Law of Readiness
    • Law of Exercise
    • Law of Effect

    Law of Readiness
    States that the more readiness the learner has to respond to the stimulus,
    the stronger the bond between them.
    Law of Exercise
    • It tells that the more S-R (stimulus and response) bond is practiced the
    stronger it will become.
    • Practice makes perfect.
    • But practice without feedback does not necessarily enhance performance.
    Law of Exercise
    • The connection between stimulus to response is bond if the consequences
    is positive.
    • The connection between stimulus to response is weakened if the
    consequences is negative.

    Principles derived from Thorndike’s Theory of Connectionism:


    • Learning requires both practice and rewards. (Law of Effect and
    Exercise)
    • A Series of S-R connections can be chained together if they
    belong to the same action sequence.(Law of Readiness)
    • Transfer of learning occur because of previously encountered.
    • Intelligence is a function of the number of connections learned.
