effect

Explanation:

Law of effect: In psychology, the term law of effect was proposed by Edward Thorndike, and is defined as the phenomenon in which a particular response when chased by a specific satisfying event in the presence of a particular stimuli then the connection between response and stimulus gets stronger and vice-versa. Therefore, the satisfying event association has a greater chance of occurring in the future.
