Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 4,510 times
Under various theories of Transfer of Learning, when a learner learns a specific formula or geometric theorem in mathematics and uses it to solve statistical calculations or mechanics problems in physics, what is the most significant analytical difference in the explanation of this process between Edward L. Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' and C.H. Judd's 'Theory of Generalization'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Transfer of learning is an important topic in educational psychology. According to Edward L. Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements', transfer from one situation to another occurs only when both situations share certain elements (such as habits, knowledge, or methods). In contrast, Charles Hubbard Judd argued in his 'Theory of Generalization' that transfer is not due to specific elements, but based on the generalization of learned material and understanding of principles. For detailed information on this topic, you can refer to the Wikipedia reference.

Under Edward Thorndike's Theory of Connectionism and Trial and Error, a central concept is the 'Law of Effect', which states that a response followed by a satisfying state of affairs strengthens the neural bond between the stimulus and the response, whereas an annoying state weakens it.

Under Edward Thorndike's 'Trial and Error Theory', the 'Law of Readiness' states that when a nervous system is ready to conduct and is allowed to do so, it is satisfied, and when it is not ready and is forced, it experiences annoyance.

In the context of plateaus of learning, when there is no improvement in performance or efficiency for a long period during the learning process, it is called a 'plateau'. The main causes for their emergence may include fatigue, lack of interest, lack of motivation, or an increase in complexity. In this context, if a teacher uses various innovative teaching methods, positive reinforcement, and appropriate rest sessions to overcome the plateau, from a psychological perspective, which aspect of learning and mitigation of the plateau does this process best explain?
