According to Thorndike, there are laws of effect an example of that could be: when a runner wins the first time it is probable for that experience to be repeated in other rounds ( this is a psychological phenomenon I believe not a behavioural phenomenon as it will be translated into a belief system that " I am the winner") from the behavioral perspective that winning can activate the reward system so the next time it would be more likely to happen.but according to Thorndike, and the effect law, the more positive outcome will result in more probability of that behaviour to happen. If that winning was a failure then the next round after the failure would probably be a failure (According to effect law).
The exercise law according to Thorndike represents that if we repeat a behaviour it will occur in a stronger version. An Example of that could be practising a technique in playing music, the more we practice the more expert we become, this will draw a path in our brain for itself, the more we repeat it the stronger it becomes.
I think both of these laws could be facts as they are practical and happen by every experience.

Can you maybe clarify what you mean in your first example for the law of effect? How goes winning or losing effect behavior? Could this maybe differ from individual to individual on their performance? Maybe one would work harder to win the next time if they lost the first time or vise versa. Also can you elaborate on why you think these laws are facts?
