Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 3,093 times
Upon a deep analysis of the various theories of 'Transfer of Learning' under educational psychology, the 'Theory of Generalization' propounded by Charles Judd demonstrates conceptual proximity and distinction with which of the following other theories, and according to it, what is the primary basis of transfer of learning?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Charles Judd's 'Theory of Generalization' posits that when an individual comprehends general principles, rules, or experiences learned in one situation, they can easily apply those principles to new situations. Through his famous experiment (shooting arrows underwater), Judd proved that conceptual generalization and insight play a vital role in transfer of learning, which is closely aligned with the principles of Gestalt psychology.
