Maurice is taking a class in which he is tested every two weeks. He decides to "cram" for the first test and receives a poor grade. According to the "Law of Effect," the probability of Maurice cramming before the second test has likely been ______________.

Explanation:According to the law of effect if we did something in a particular situation and the outcome was satisfying , if we are presented by the similar situation we are likely to repeat the same act towards that situation because it has been reinforced by the positive results so it it is likely that we will do the same thing again. For example if we arrived early at work and we got a compliment from the boss , we are likely to keep on arriving early everyday to keep getting those compliments .

However if we did something and the outcome was negative we are less likely to repeat the same thing in the future if we are presented by the same situation. Maurice cramming resulted to poor grade , this outcome makes it less likely to repeat the same action again.
