Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 4,561 times
In the context of the complex interrelationship between 'Learning Curves' and 'Transfer of Learning' in educational psychology, which of the following statements is most analytically and psychologically correct?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Learning Curves and Transfer of Learning
In the educational psychology learning process, when prior knowledge or skills create interference in new learning, it is termed as negative transfer.
This psychological condition often triggers cognitive conflict in the learner, manifesting as a plateau or temporary stagnation within the learning curve during initial phases.
- Option B is correct because negative transfer directly impedes new skill acquisition, causing early learning stalls.
- Options A, C, and D contain conceptual inaccuracies regarding learning plateaus, curve types, and bilateral transfer respectively.
