Psychologist Edward Lee Thorndike (1874-1949) offered the "Law of Exercise" which stated that "the more times a response is made in a given situation, the stronger it becomes. As a behaviorist, he suggested that stimulus-response associations are strengthened through repetition. This was an early idea about learning, based on animal studies.
In other words, he claimed that Practice Makes Perfect.
Question: is it really that simple?

Practices makes permanent, not perfect. Thus only perfect practice makes perfect. Bad practice enforces bad behavior.
