Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,451 times
When making a theoretical and psychological analysis of the major causes of plateaus in learning and the various forms of transfer of learning—especially bilateral transfer, positive transfer, and negative transfer—which of the following statements is scientifically most authentic and true?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
During the learning process, 'learning curves' and 'plateaus' are important psychological concepts. When no improvement is observed in the speed of learning despite practice and the curve forms a flat stretch, it is called a plateau in learning.
Key Factors
- Causes: Lack of motivation, fatigue, complex content, or use of outdated methods.
- Resolution: It can be broken by providing appropriate motivation and changing teaching methods.
- Bilateral Transfer: When a skill learned by one organ of the body is utilized by another symmetrical organ, it is termed bilateral transfer.
