Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 21 times
Upon a detailed analysis of the philosophical and experimental nature of learning curves and transfer of learning, when a learner progresses rapidly at the beginning of learning a new skill due to the positive effect of prior learning (indicated by a positive or convex slope in the learning curve), but subsequently experiences a prolonged horizontal period (plateau) in performance due to mental fatigue, lack of motivation, or poor strategies, and to break this plateau, the teacher utilizes 'bilateral transfer' by having the learner practice with the left hand or other body parts, which of the following psychological and educational operations is most accurately demonstrated by this entire process?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Learning Plateaus and Transfer of Learning
A plateau during learning is a state where the rate of progress temporarily stagnates. To overcome this plateau, changes in teaching methods, proper motivation, rest, and various forms of learning transfer—such as bilateral transfer—are employed.
Psychological research indicates that when a skill learned by one limb transfers to another symmetrical limb, it helps reorganize the nervous system of the brain, thereby assisting in lifting the learning curve upward again.
- Learning Curve: Graphical representation of the rate of learning over time.
- Plateau in Learning: A period of no apparent progress in learning.
- Bilateral Transfer: The improvement in performance on one limb as a result of practice on the opposite limb.
