The scenario described in the question follows the Law of Effect, which states that behaviors that have positive outcomes or consequences are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors that have negative outcomes or consequences are less likely to be repeated. In this case, pressing the button results in a positive outcome (getting a drink of water), while pulling on the string results in a negative outcome (getting shocked). Therefore, the individual learns to press the button and avoid pulling on the string.
