Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 24 times
When analyzing the main causes behind the occurrence of plateaus of learning from a psychological perspective, which of the following factors is considered most responsible for this condition, and what change is observed in the learning curve during this period?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Plateaus of Learning
A 'plateau' in learning curves is a state where there is no noticeable progress in the learning process for a while, and the performance level on the graph becomes flat and stationary.
- Key Causes: Lack of interest or motivation, physical and mental fatigue, complex subject matter, or proactive/retroactive inhibition (interference of old habits).
- Impact: The acquisition of new skills halts temporarily before picking up again with renewed strategies.
