Answer 1

Answer:

C. EL Thorndike

The statement you provided is a description of the Law of Effect, which was propounded by Edward Lee Thorndike.

The Law of Effect states that:

- Behaviors that are followed by a satisfying consequence will be strengthened and repeated (i.e., learning occurs).

- Behaviors that are followed by an annoying or unpleasant consequence will be weakened and avoided.

Thorndike's Law of Effect was a fundamental concept in the development of behavioral psychology and learning theory.
