Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,218 times
When conducting a deep psychological analysis of the causes of a plateau in learning and the various types of learning curves, if at the initial stage of a learning curve the rate of improvement is very rapid, and later, despite practice, the level of performance becomes stable on a certain parallel line known as a 'plateau', which of the following statements provides the most accurate explanation of the scientific causes of this situation and ways to overcome it?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
During the learning process, a 'plateau in learning' is a state where no progress is visible in performance despite continued practice, and the curve becomes a straight horizontal line. Its main causes include lack of interest or motivation, fatigue, increased level of complexity, use of old and ineffective methods, and improper learning environment. Scientific use of novel teaching techniques, proper motivation, and breaks are used to break through this. For detailed information on this topic, you can refer to the Wikipedia reference.
