Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 1,536 times
In the integrated perspective of the psychological and physiological causes of the formation of plateaus of learning and the various forms of transfer of learning, if a student shows no progress in performance level over a long interval while learning a complex skill, and subsequently applies previously acquired knowledge in a completely new situation in a contrary or negative manner, which of the following theoretical statements is most accurate and scientifically valid regarding this entire process?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Plateaus of Learning and Transfer of Learning
A plateau in a learning curve occurs when the speed of learning temporarily stops, primarily caused by loss of motivation, mental or physical fatigue, complex subject matter, or faulty teaching methods.
Furthermore, when previously learned knowledge creates interference or hinders new learning, it is known as negative transfer of learning.
- Plateau Causes: Fatigue, lack of motivation, improper methods.
- Negative Transfer: Past learning acts as an obstacle in acquiring new skills or knowledge.
Therefore, Option B provides the most scientifically accurate explanation encompassing both concepts.
