    The matching law, and the generalized matching law, have helped behavior analysts to understand some complex human behaviors, especially the behavior of children in certain conflict situations.

    Theorem: Any matching law selection rule satisfies Luce's choice axiom. Conversely, if P ( a ∣ A ) > 0 {\displaystyle P(a\mid A)>0} for all a ∈ A ⊂ X {\displaystyle a\in A\subset X} , then Luce's choice axiom implies that it is a matching law selection rule.
