Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,063 times
In educational psychology, when studying the various theories of 'Transfer of Learning'—such as Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements', Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization', and the Gestaltists' 'Theory of Insight'—if a learner applies skills or knowledge learned in a specific situation to a completely different situation based on the understanding of logical relationships and abstract generalization, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically true regarding this type of transfer of learning and its underlying principles?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The 'Theory of Generalization' proposed by Charles Judd clarifies that the transfer of learning depends on the extent to which the learner has generalized the rules, principles, and concepts learned in the prior situation. When an individual deeply understands a principle, they are able to apply it easily in new and changed situations.
