Transfer of Learning, Curve & Plateau
Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 1,403 times
In the context of 'Learning Curves', when the rate of learning is extremely rapid in the initial stages of the learning process and gradually slows down as practice increases, which of the following statements is most appropriate and true regarding the scientific nature of the 'Negative Acceleration Curve' (as opposed to a Convex or Positive Acceleration Curve)?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Learning Curves
Learning curves graphically represent the relationship between the amount of learning and time or effort.
- Negative Acceleration Curve: In this type of curve, progress in the initial phase of learning is very rapid because the subject matter is novel and the learner has high enthusiasm.
- Slowing Progress: As time passes and the task becomes more complex, the rate of learning begins to slow down due to conditions such as mental fatigue, lack of motivation, or plateaus.
- Flattening Slope: Consequently, instead of continuing to rise steeply, the curve begins to flatten, often referred to as the 'Law of Diminishing Returns'.
