Question
Explain the results of Thorndike's experiment.
✓

Answer

  • As the effort in education increases through effort and error, the degree of error decreases.
  • The American psychologist Thorndike has introduced the concept of education through effort and error.
  • He created a problem box for the experiment in which pressing a key would open the box door.
  • The problem is to put a hungry cat in the box and put the food out of the problem box as the cat appears.
  • The cat initially sniffs at the rods to get out of the problem box.
  • Claws, claws all the time.
  • But she doesn’t manage to get out.
  • Suddenly his hand falls on the key and the problem box door opens.
  • The cat jumps out of the box.
  • Thorndike has done this experiment 24 times in 24 days.
  • The first time a cat comes out is about 160 seconds.
  • When in the last attempt at 24 he learns to open the door in 10 seconds and get out and get food.
  • Thus, the rate of error is higher at the beginning of learning achieved through effort and error.
  • But as the effort grows, so does the error of understanding the problem.
  • Thus, a person learns through effort and error.
