Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,889 times
Under the psychology of learning, on conducting a micro-analytical study of the causes of the origin of 'Plateaus of Learning' and the equivalent or bilateral transfer nature of 'Transfer of Learning', which of the following psychological factors is primarily NOT responsible for the formation of a plateau, while it directly influences the positive transfer of learning?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Plateaus in learning occur when progress in the learning process temporarily stops, major causes of which include fatigue, lack of interest, complexity, and incorrect teaching methods. Option (c), the 'Theory of Identical Elements', is actually the main basis of positive transfer of learning according to reference materials, not a negative factor causing a plateau. Hence, option (c) is not included among the causes of a plateau.
