Thorndike's law of effect stated that some behaviours could be encouraged or discouraged based on the effects the person performing those behaviours experiences. It states that, if someone does something, and experiences a reward, they will do that more often. If someone does something, and experiences a punishment, they will do that less often.

Thorndike's Law of Effect states that behaviors followed by positive outcomes are more likely to be repeated in the future, while behaviors followed by negative outcomes are less likely to be repeated. This principle forms the basis of operant conditioning and reinforcement in psychology.
