In order to train human actions, both psychologists devised their own theories. Thorndike's theory is known as the Law of Effect, and Skinner's theory is known as the Reinforcing Stimulus/Reinforcing Concepts.

What are the theories in psychology for behaviors?

Psychoanalysis, learning, and cognition are three major theories of development. Although they attempt to explain a large portion of human behavior, these theories are frequently viewed as outmoded and insufficient in light of current findings.

Theories of skinner and Thorndike's:

  1. According to Thorndike's Law of Effect, behavioral responses (R) that were closely followed by a positive outcome were more likely to develop into patterns and recur in response to the same stimulus (S).
  2. B.F. Skinner's theory is predicated on the notion that learning is a result of altering overt behavior. Behavior modifications are the result of a person's reaction to environmental events (stimuli).

Thus, Burrhus Frederic Skinner used the theory as the foundation for his entire work on operant conditioning.
