Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These periods of time are called plateaus, which are temporary periods of little or no progress during learning. The other options do not accurately describe this phenomenon. Learning blocks implies a more permanent inability to progress, lapses suggest brief interruptions in progress, and learning gaps refer to missing knowledge or skills needed for further learning.
