Inspectio a Review of General Psychology anno 2002 edita Thorndike nonum a maximo psychologo saeculi vicensimi citato aestimavit.[3] Theoriam discendi supplementalis et explicationem morum penitus affecit, suá lege effectús fundamentalem legum empiricarum formam in psychologia morum praebente. Sua opera in provinciá psychologiae morum educationem magnopere affecit, ubi lex effectús in classibus scholasticis magni adhuc aesitimatur. Pater quidem psychologiae educationalis late habetur.
