✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
David Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Verbal Learning primarily focuses on how knowledge is organized and acquired. The concept of the 'Advance Organizer' holds immense significance in his theory.
Key Concepts:
- Advance Organizers: These are introductory materials presented prior to the learning of new, broader academic content, serving as a conceptual bridge.
- Subsumption Theory: New material is integrated into existing cognitive structures (anchor ideas), promoting meaningful learning rather than rote memorization.
Therefore, option (A) accurately defines this psychological concept scientifically.
