Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,515 times
Based on an in-depth analysis of the dynamic interrelationship among the 'Plateaus of Learning' propounded by Bryan & Harter, the various types of 'Learning Curves' (such as convex, concave, S-shaped curves) supported by Gestalt psychologists, and the theories of 'Transfer of Learning' given by E.L. Thorndike and C.W. Judd; if a learner experiences a prolonged horizontal barrier (plateau) in performance while learning a complex motor skill, and during this time experiences a drop in motivation, fatigue, or a negative impact of old habits on the new skill, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically true in the context of these three psychological concepts?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Detailed Explanation
Plateaus of Learning occur when progress in the learning process temporarily stops and the performance curve becomes horizontal. The main causes include lack of motivation, fatigue, increased complexity, or incorrect teaching methods.
- Plateaus of Learning: Represent temporary stagnation in performance, not a complete stop in learning.
- Causes: Fatigue, boredom, loss of interest, and inappropriate strategies.
- Solution: They can be overcome through appropriate remedial teaching, motivation, and advanced techniques.
For a detailed understanding of the dynamics of learning, you can refer to the Wikipedia Reference on Learning.
