Detailed Explanation & Solution
Detailed Explanation
This question evaluates the psychological interrelationships between Hermann Ebbinghaus's 'Forgetting Curve' and Sigmund Freud's 'Repression Theory' within child development and pedagogy.
- Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve: Demonstrates that without practice, learned material is forgotten rapidly over time (passive decay), which necessitates 'Spaced Repetition' to counter memory loss.
- Freud's Repression Theory: Focuses on 'Motivated Forgetting' where individuals push anxiety-inducing or painful memories into the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism.
- Pedagogical Implication: Modern education integrates both concepts to advocate for scientific repetition methods alongside a stress-free, secure, and positive classroom environment to prevent emotional repression.
Therefore, Option B is scientifically and pedagogically accurate.
