Law of Exercise as proposed by Thorndike has two parts
The law of use - the more often an association is used the stronger it becomes

The Law of Effect emphasizes that:
Responses resulting in a satisfying state of affairs are learned
says behaviors that are followed by good consequences are likely to be repeated in the future
Edwin R. Guthrie
responses do not need to be rewarded to be learned and the key to learning is contiguity, or close pairing in time between stimulus and response
