Which of one of the following pair is correct?

This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Thorndike – Connectionism

Edward Thorndike is credited with Connectionism, the theory that learning occurs through the formation of stimulus-response bonds strengthened by reinforcement, based on his experiments with cats and puzzle boxes.

This pairing is correctly matched, unlike the other options: Kurt Lewin is known for Field Theory (not humanistic theory), Maslow is known for the Hierarchy of Needs (not field theory of learning, which is actually Lewin's), and classical conditioning is associated with Pavlov, not Skinner, who is known for operant conditioning.

Since the other three pairs mismatch theorist and theory, Thorndike–Connectionism is the only correct pair.
