Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 26 times
In the context of learning, who proposed the 'Theory of Generalization' among the principles of 'Transfer of Learning', and according to it, on what does the transfer of learning depend?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Theory of Generalization
The 'Theory of Generalization' of transfer of learning was proposed by the renowned educational psychologist C. H. Judd.
According to this theory:
- If knowledge, rules, or principles learned in one situation are generalized, an individual can easily apply those principles to a new and different situation.
- Judd proved through his famous Water-Target Experiment (hitting targets underwater) that theoretical understanding and generalization facilitate transfer.
