________________3. A law that concerns on the satisfactory of behavior will lead to
continuity of behavior while dissatisfaction will lead to change in
ones action.
________________4. Learning theory that focus on the set of applications of probability
functions to predict behavior.
________________5. It is regarded as the most powerful experimental variable known
in psychomotor skills.

psychology of learning and behavior in general.

the use of environmental factors to achieve a goal (means-endanalysis)
