A person solves linear equations in algebra for a number of days and becomes progressively more efficient, more accurate and faster in solving them. This progressive improvement in performance is a form of transfer known as
ALearning to learn ✓ Correct
BGeneralization
CTransposition
DIdentification
Correct answer: (A) Learning to learn
Explanation
The progressive improvement in solving equations across days is learning to learn, a positive transfer of learning skill.
Generalization (B) is applying a learned response to similar stimuli, not improving efficiency over practice.
Transposition (C) is transferring a relationship between stimuli, not skill in learning itself.
Identification (D) is recognising or naming stimuli, unrelated to this improvement.
Learning to learn is also called a learning set, studied by Harry Harlow.
It reflects positive transfer, where earlier learning aids later learning.
