Quick Mathematics Problem...?

[Angela B]

Psychologists interested in learning theory study learning curves. A learning curve is the graph of a function P(t), the performance of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time t.

Differential Equation is : dP/dt = k(M - P)

- What does dP/dt represent?

[juju]

the rate at which the performance is changing at any given time, t

[Palace Chan]

Since P is performance and t is time...dP/dt represents the rate at which performance is changing in whatever scale they use to measure it over time...
