In the context of 'Transfer of Learning', according to the 'Theory of Identical Elements' propounded in 1901 by psychologists Edward Thorndike and Robert Woodworth, knowledge or a skill learned in one situation is most helpful in another situation when which of the following similarities mainly exist in both situations?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The 'Theory of Identical Elements' of transfer of learning was propounded by Edward Thorndike and Robert Woodworth. According to this theory, experience gained or knowledge learned in one field is transferred to another situation only when certain elements (such as subject matter, ways of doing tasks, rules, or procedures) are similar in both situations. The more similar elements there are in both situations, the more effective the transfer of learning (positive transfer) will be.
