Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 1,258 times
Regarding the theories of transfer of learning, which of the following is the most subtle and philosophical difference between Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' and Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In the transfer of learning, Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' assumes that learning in one situation helps in another only when identical elements or habits are present in both situations. In contrast, Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization' argues that transfer occurs not due to specific elements, but on the basis of learned rules, principles, and conceptual generalization.

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.
