In the context of 'Transfer of Learning', according to the 'Theory of Generalization' propounded by the psychologist Charles Judd, the transfer of knowledge or skills learned in one situation to a new situation primarily depends upon which psychological process?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
The 'Theory of Generalization' of transfer of learning was propounded by the American educational psychologist Charles Judd (1908). According to this theory:
Core Concept: Transfer occurs when a learner understands factual knowledge learned in an initial situation as a general rule, formula, or principle.
Application: The learner utilizes this generalized knowledge to solve problems in different yet similar new situations encountered in the future.
Contrast: Thorndike's 'Theory of Identical Elements' focuses on specific identical components, whereas Judd's theory emphasizes comprehension and generalization.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct and most precise answer.
