According to the Theory of Identical Elements proposed by Edward Thorndike and C. S. Woodworth among the various theories of transfer of learning, when is the knowledge or skill learned in one situation transferred most effectively and maximally to another situation?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Theory of Identical Elements
The Theory of Identical Elements, formulated by Edward Thorndike and C. S. Woodworth, posits that transfer of learning occurs from one situation to another only to the extent that the two situations share common or identical elements.
- Key mechanism: Greater similarity in content, skills, procedures, or attitudes between tasks leads to more effective and positive transfer.
- Option A Analysis: Correct because identical elements imply shared components in subject matter and methodology.
