The correct answer is (a) S.L. Pressey.<\/p>\n
S.L. Pressey was an American psychologist who is credited with inventing the first teaching machine in 1926. His teaching machine was a device that presented students with multiple-choice questions and allowed them to give their answers by pressing buttons. If the student gave a correct answer, the machine would give them positive reinforcement, such as a light or a sound. If the student gave an incorrect answer, the machine would give them corrective feedback.<\/p>\n
Pressey’s teaching machine was an early example of a programmed learning device. Programmed learning is a method of instruction in which students learn at their own pace by following a series of carefully sequenced steps. Programmed learning has been shown to be an effective way to teach a variety of subjects, including mathematics, science, and foreign languages.<\/p>\n
W. Allen, I.K. Davis, and B.F. Skinner were also psychologists who made significant contributions to the development of programmed learning. Allen developed a type of programmed learning called “intrinsic programming,” in which the student’s progress is determined by their own performance. Davis developed a type of programmed learning called “extrinsic programming,” in which the student’s progress is determined by a predetermined schedule. Skinner developed a type of programmed learning called “operant conditioning,” in which the student’s progress is determined by the reinforcement or punishment they receive for their performance.<\/p>\n
All of these psychologists made important contributions to the development of programmed learning. However, it was S.L. Pressey who is credited with inventing the first teaching machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
