Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,398 times
When making an in-depth analysis of the various types of 'Learning Curves' and the theories of 'Transfer of Learning'—especially Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' and Judd's 'Theory of Generalization'—which of the following statements most accurately defines the fundamental and empirical nature of both concepts?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
In learning psychology, a 'concave curve' is a condition where the initial speed of learning is fast because the new knowledge or task seems simple, but as the task becomes more complex, the learning speed slows down. Additionally, Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' clarifies that the transfer of knowledge or skill acquired in one domain to another is facilitated only when some elements of the objective, subject matter, or process are common in both situations.
