Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 24 times
When conducting a detailed psychological analysis of the various types of learning curves, if a learning curve shows extremely slow learning speed in the initial stage, rapid progress with practice, and finally slows down again, what is this specific type of curve called and what does its elemental dynamics indicate?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Learning Curves
Learning curves graphically represent the changes in the amount and speed of learning along with practice.
- Concave Curve (Positive Acceleration): In this curve, the initial learning pace is slow because the subject is new and the learner takes time to adjust. As practice continues, performance increases rapidly.
- Convex Curve: Shows rapid initial progress followed by a slowdown due to fatigue or plateau.
Therefore, the described pattern corresponds to the characteristics of a concave or positive acceleration curve.
