This man created predecessors to the ASVAB test and, like father, his son worked with Elizabeth Hagen to develop the Cognitive Ability Test. In one of this psychologist's works, he discusses the average child's "problem attitude" towards learning addition.  In a later work, he argues that the "appetitive activities of human beings are the result of a process of repetition and reward." Along with The Psychology of (*) Arithmetic and The Psychology of Wants, Interests and Attitudes, this psychologist studied auxilliary languages and also provided empirical support for an effect that is the reason why good-looking criminals are less likely to be found guilty in a court of law.  However, this man is probably better known for a law that states that actions that lead to pleasure are more likely to be remembered.  For 10 points, name this psychologist, the creator of a bunch of word books and formulator of the Law of Effect, a behaviorist whom liked to test cats with puzzle boxes.
