Right Answer is: C

SOLUTION

TRANSFER OF LEARNING

  • The term transfer of learning is often called transfer of training or transfer effect.
  • It refers to the effects of prior learning on new learning.
  • The transfer is considered to be positive if the earlier learning facilitates current learning.
  • It is considered to be a negative transfer if new learning is retarded.
  • The absence of a facilitative or retarding effect means zero transfer. 

Habit Strength:

  • Generalized habit strength is a construct in Hull's learning theory.
  • It is a measure of the habit strength, taking into account the reduction resulting from a difference between the current stimulus and the stimulus present in the initial learning trials.

Hence, Generalization is the most important factor in Habit Strength.
