Answer 1

A. When conditions in the learner's environment are such that they establish in students an attitude favorable to learning, they are said to be in a state of readiness to learn.
B. The effect of success in learning is a pleasurable sense of satisfaction. The student continues to strive for this pleasant effect, and continues to learn.
C. The more intensive the matter taught, the greater is the likelihood that it will be retained. This principle is of value in teaching subjects involving basic principles and their association to real events.
D. When experiences are pleasing or satisfying, there is usually an accompanying desire to repeat the experience. This principle builds habits, that if correct, lead to success, satisfaction, and a desire to do over again what produces pleasure.
E. Information acquired last is generally remembered best; therefore, frequent reviews and summarization coupled with repetition tend to fix in the mind the matters taught.
F. Things learned first create a strong impression in the mind that is difficult to erase.
