Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 24 times
In the psychology of learning, following Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' and Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization', how does the 'Theory of Ideals' (Theory of Generalized Objectives or Ideals) proposed by G.H. Bagley explain the transfer of learning?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding the Theory of Ideals
In the history of the Transfer of Learning, G.H. Bagley propounded the 'Theory of Ideals' (or generalized objectives). According to this theory, mere practice of facts or skills is not sufficient; rather, the ideals and high moral values adopted by an individual in life significantly influence the transfer of learning from one situation to another.
- Thorndike: Theory of Identical Elements.
- Charles Judd: Theory of Generalization.
- G.H. Bagley: Theory of Ideals and Moral Values.
Therefore, higher-order transfer is facilitated by the conscious realization of generalized objectives and ideals.
