Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 1,420 times
Based on a detailed psychological and educational analysis of the elemental causes of the Plateau of Learning, the various forms of the 'Learning Curve' propounded by Gestalt psychologists (such as convex, concave, S-shaped curves), and the theories of transfer of learning given by Edward Thorndike and Charles Judd (such as the 'Theory of Identical Elements' and the 'Theory of Generalisation'), which of the following statements most authentically explains the interrelationships among these three concepts and their real-world dynamics?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
The detailed study of learning curves, plateaus, and transfer is a central part of educational psychology. During learning, when efficiency or progress temporarily halts, it is referred to as a 'learning plateau', the cause of which can be lack of interest, fatigue, or incorrect methods. Meanwhile, the 'Theory of Generalisation' propounded by Charles Judd explains that previously learned general concepts assist in new experiences.
