Thorndike Law of Effect
Thorndike proposed the Law of Effect to explain the future behaviors of individuals. Many institutions employ a system of punishment and rewards to curb, eradicate or enhance behaviors. Select a system (i.e. school, penal system, home disciplinary system, etc.) of punishment and rewards. Describe how the Law of Effect would predict future behaviors for individuals within the system you selected. Also, provide an alternative perspective of how the Law of Effect may not predict future behavior.
