•Law of Readiness—learning is easier when it is preceded by easier tasks that progress to more difficult
ones
•Law of Identical Elements—the more learning elements are related to each other (content and procedure), the more transfer there will be from one situation to the
next
•Law of Exercise—the more stimulus-response connections are practiced, the better the learning will
be
•Law of Effect—if an act is followed by a satisfying change in the environment, there is a greater chance that that behavior will be repeated. If the effect is
not satisfying then the
behavior is less likely to be repeated
