Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 27 times
Upon a detailed analysis of the theoretical and experimental nature of plateaus in learning and transfer of learning, when a student shows no progress in performance over a long period while learning a complex skill (a plateau state), and this plateau is caused by negative transfer or a wrong mental set from prior learning, which of the following would be the most scientific and effective remedial measure to break this condition and restore upward progress in the learning curve?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
When the level of performance remains constant for some time during learning, it is called a 'plateau of learning'. The main reasons for this include lack of motivation, fatigue, wrong teaching methods, or negative interference of prior knowledge. To overcome this, changes in teaching methods, proper rest, and motivation are essential.

Within the psychology of learning, while closely analyzing 'Learning Curves' and 'Transfer of Learning', if a learner positively uses knowledge and skills acquired in one subject (such as algebra) to solve new and different problems in another subject (such as solving numerical problems in physics), but at the same time after a certain time, despite practice, there is no progress in their performance and the curve becomes a straight horizontal line, how will these two phenomena be defined respectively in psychological terminology and which factor will be primarily responsible for this?
