 To explain observed properties of learning, Thorndike introduced three laws of learning. To explain observed properties of learning, Thorndike introduced three laws of learning.
  
-  * __**Law of exercise**__ (also referred to //as law of use// or //law of frequency//​),​ which states that stimulus-response (S-R) associations are **strengthened through repetition** or weakened through lack of repetition.+  * __**Law of exercise**__ (also referred to //as law of use// or //law of frequency//​),​ which states that stimulus-response (S-R) associations are strengthened through ​**repetition** or weakened through lack of repetition.
   * __**Law of effect**__ which states that the consequence or **outcome** of a situation-response event **can strengthen or weaken** the **connection** between situation and response. If an event is followed by a positive reinforcing stimulus, the connection will be strengthened and vice versa.   * __**Law of effect**__ which states that the consequence or **outcome** of a situation-response event **can strengthen or weaken** the **connection** between situation and response.
