Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,365 times
Upon conducting a profound psychological and philosophical analysis of various models of Transfer of Learning, in the context of Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements', Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization', and the 'Refutation of Formal Discipline' propounded by William Bagley, which of the following statements presents the most authentic explanation of the interrelationship and scientific nature among these three?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Theories of Transfer of Learning
Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization' clarifies that the transfer of learning depends more on the general rules or principles assimilated by the learner through prior knowledge than on the mechanical matching of specific elements.
Key distinctions between the theories:
- Thorndike's Theory of Identical Elements: Focuses on concrete, specific, and physical similarities between learning tasks.
- Judd's Theory of Generalization: Focuses on cognitive understanding and the application of generalized principles, moving beyond mechanical matching.
- Formal Discipline: Relates to the outdated faculty psychology view that the mind is strengthened through rigorous exercise of abstract subjects.
Therefore, option b accurately captures the cognitive progression from Thorndike's mechanical view to Judd's principle-based generalization.
