Edward Thorndike experimented with cat's learning to escape a box. The cats learned the effect of activating the escape mechanism led to freedom and food. This enforced their behavior to repeat. The cats did not seem to associate the escape mechanism with gratification when exposed to it in other scenarios. Drug addiction is another law of effect example.
