Every individual is born with certain unique instincts and learning depends on the satisfaction of these instincts. Individual learner’s capacity to learn varies from person to person. In this context, an Instructor must know the learner ’s attitude towards learning and apply the knowledge of psychology of learning and human behaviour influences in all the phases of training.

 One the  pioneers  of  educational  psychology, E.L. Thorndike formulated three laws of learning on the early 20th century. The Law of readiness, the law of exercise and the Law of effect. These laws are universally accepted and applied to all kinds of learning. Later on, educational psychologists and pedagogists have discovered, tested some more secondary laws of learning applicable to the learning process and used in practical situations.

 We must understand these principles of learning brought out as a result of services of experiments and research. The Instructor should make use of them in training the learners (trainees) in order to maximize their efforts to achieve the goal. In teaching-learning activities the Instructor and the trainees function in cooperation with each other and the goal is achieved adopting/following the laws of learning listed below:
