Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 4,364 times
Which of the following causes behind the emergence of a plateau in learning is NOT primarily and directly related to 'mental and physical fatigue' or 'lack of motivation', but is instead associated with the complexity of the learning process and higher levels of competencies?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In learning curves, a 'plateau' is a state where the speed of learning completely stops for some time and the graph runs in a straight line. Fatigue, lack of interest, and faulty methods are external and practical causes of a plateau. In contrast, when a learner moves from a primary or simple level to a more complex and advanced level in a skill, a natural conceptual pause occurs during the transition from old knowledge to new and abstract knowledge, which is considered a cognitive cause of the learning plateau.
