Which of Thorndike’s laws was revised specifically concerning the claim that satisfying and annoying consequences strengthen and weaken stimulus–response connections symmetrically?
Law of Effect
This is the law of effect, which concerns the consequences of responses. Thorndike retained the strengthening role of satisfying outcomes but revised the supposed equivalent weakening effect of annoying outcomes. He also reconsidered the law of exercise, so revision alone does not uniquely identify the law of effect.
