 With learners’ power of memory
he and she is able to retain,
recall and recognize past mental
acts.
Memory work is basic in
learning but we must not
encourage memorizing without
understanding.

States that:
Learning is dependent upon the learner’s
readiness to act (physically, mentally and
emotionally).

States that:
In learning, the more frequently a stimulus and
response are associated with each other, the
more likely the particular response will follow
the stimulus (repetition).

States that:
In learning, responses closely followed
by satisfaction will become firmly
attached to the situation and likely to be
repeated
States that:
Learning that takes place in the beginning is
the best and lasting.

States that:
In learning, recent acts are lasting.

States that:
In learning, if a stimulus is strong, the
response will be strong and vice – versa.
Law of Exercise • Thorndike’s Law of Exercise concerns
the role of practice in learning.
• It states that the strength with which a
response will be connected with a
situation depends upon the number of
times the response has occurred in
that situation.

𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑒 → 𝑅𝐸𝑃𝐸𝐴𝑇

• Therefore,
• Practice is directly proportional
with memory
