to feel important when they are
important to somebody, they feel like
someone likes them.

LAWS OF LEARNING
LAWOF EFFECT
Learning is strengthened when
accompanied by a pleasant or satisfying
feeling.
Learning is weakened when associated
with an unpleasant feeling.
Learning takes place properly when it
results in satisfaction and the learner
derives pleasure out of it.
