Correct Answer - Option 2 : Conditioning
Transfer of training: Transfer of training is trainees effectively and continually applying what they learned in training on their jobs (knowledge, skills, behaviour).
- The work environment plays an important role in ensuring that the transfer of training occurs.
- It is influenced by climate transfer, manager support, peer support, technology support, and self-management skills.
Conditioning is a theory that the reaction to an object (response) or event (stimulus) by a person or animal can be modified by learning or conditioning.
- Transfer of training is a distinct topic of investigation with its own experimental designs and procedures for measurement.
- Its implications pervade practically all of psychology, from conditioning to personality development.
-
Pavlov discovered that when a dog is conditioned to salivate in response to a sound wave of 1,000 Hertz, it will also salivate if it is next exposed to a tone of 900 Hertz, although typically the volume of saliva will be slightly reduced.
-
In this case, transfer of training occurs between two similar auditory stimuli.
Thus, it is concluded that conditioning theory is associated with the transfer of training.
-
Trial and error:- Trial and Error is a method of learning in which various responses are tentatively tried and some discarded until a solution is attained. E.L. Thorndike (1874-1949) was the chief exponent of the theory of connectionism or trial and error.
-
Insightful learning:-This theory is also called the Gestalt Theory of Learning. Learning by insight means sudden grasping of the solution, a flash of understanding, without any process of trial and error. All discoveries and inventions have taken place through insight. Of course, the discoverer possessed a complete knowledge of the whole situation in peace-meal.
