Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 24 times
In the psychological context of Learning Curves and Plateaus of Learning, if a student's learning performance shows no progress even after a long period of practice and the curve becomes horizontal, besides 'fatigue, lack of motivation, or lack of interest', which of the following is considered the most important psychological reason responsible for this plateau state?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
A plateau of learning indicates a state where progress in the learning process stops for some time and the learning curve forms a horizontal line. Apart from physical fatigue and lack of motivation, the main reason behind this is the 'limit of improvement' or a sudden increase in the complexity of knowledge, when old mental skills fail to meet the demands of a new and more complex level.
