Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,394 times
When making an in-depth analysis of the various types of 'Learning Curves' and the theories of 'Transfer of Learning'—especially Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' and Judd's 'Theory of Generalization'—which of the following statements most accurately defines the fundamental and empirical nature of both concepts?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In learning psychology, a 'concave curve' is a condition where the initial speed of learning is fast because the new knowledge or task seems simple, but as the task becomes more complex, the learning speed slows down. Additionally, Edward Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' clarifies that the transfer of knowledge or skill acquired in one domain to another is facilitated only when some elements of the objective, subject matter, or process are common in both situations. For detailed information on this topic, you can refer to the Wikipedia reference.

When analyzing the different types of 'Learning Curves' and the principles of 'Transfer of Learning' in the psychology of learning, if a student makes rapid progress in the initial stages while learning a new skill, but as practice continues, the rate of progress continuously slows down and the slope of the graph becomes horizontal—known as a 'Convex Curve' or 'Negative Acceleration Curve'—then which of the following psychological conclusions is most logical and authentic regarding this type of learning curve and the 'Zero Transfer' or 'Negative Transfer' occurring alongside it?
