Thorndike was one of the first researchers to explore and outline the laws of voluntary responses, specifically the law of effect, which states that behaviors followed by satisfying consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by unpleasant consequences are less likely to be repeated. Pavlov is known for his work on classical conditioning, Watson for his work on behaviorism, and Skinner for his work on operant conditioning.
