Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edward Thorndike laid the foundation for reinforcement theory through his work on the Law of Effect, which stated that behaviors that were followed by positive consequences were more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by negative consequences were less likely to be repeated. Skinner built upon Thorndike's work and developed the concept of operant conditioning and the idea that reinforcement could shape behavior.
