Among the various theories of transfer of learning, the 'Theory of Generalization' propounded by Charles Judd is based on which of the following main concepts and best explains which type of transfer of learning?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Charles Judd's Theory of Generalization
According to the Theory of Generalization propounded by Charles Judd, when a learner completely understands a subject, rule, or principle and generalizes it, they can successfully apply that knowledge to new situations.
Judd proved through his famous Water and Target Experiment that theoretical understanding and generalization facilitate the transfer of learning.
- Core Concept: Generalization of learned principles.
- Key Experiment: Water and target experiment with boys throwing darts at submerged targets.
- Educational Implication: Teaching general principles aids in future problem-solving across different contexts.

Consider the following statements related to the geographical features of India's major mountains, plateaus, and deserts: 1. 'Anaimudi', the highest peak of South India, located on the Anaimalai Hills of the Western Ghats, is actually part of a massive block mountain and has a height of about 2,695 meters. 2. The Chota Nagpur Plateau is an excellent example of a 'peneplain', formed mainly by the erosion of ancient crystalline and metamorphic rocks, and the Damodar River flows through a rift valley across its center. 3. The Aravalli Range is one of the oldest folded mountain systems in the world, currently found in its residual form (residual mountains), and its highest peak 'Guru Shikhar' is located in Mount Abu (Rajasthan). 4. The crescent-shaped sand dunes found in the Thar Desert (Great Indian Desert) are called 'Barchans', and the 'Luni' flowing here is the only major river that disappears into the Rann of Kutch, representing an inland drainage system.
