Thorndike's law of effect states that the consequences of a behavior, whether they are positive or negative, will influence the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. The idea is that behaviors that result in desirable outcomes (positive consequences) are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors that result in undesirable outcomes (negative consequences) are less likely to be repeated.
