PDF pending restorationSturges, Persis T. – 1977
This experiment investigated the effect of a delay in informative feedback in computer-managed instruction upon later retention. Experimental groups of undergraduate college students were given a computer-managed test and received informative feedback (1) immediately, item by item (2 second delay); (2) following the entire test (20 minute delay);…

This study examined the relationship between discrimination error (determined by content analysis and tryout data) and confidence of response (determined by self report). Subjects were 63 undergraduate students enrolled in a biology class for nonmajors who received classroom expository information and read a text on the topic before they completed…

Peer reviewedClark, Kevin; Dwyer, Francis M. – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1998
This study examined the effects of different types of computer-assisted feedback strategies (knowledge of correct response, knowledge of response, and elaborative) and different types of information (facts, concepts, and principles) on student achievement and response confidence. Findings indicated a positive correlation between achievement and…

Chanond, Kanitha – 1988
This study examined the effects of feedback, the correctness of response, and response confidence within the context of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The subjects were 120 students enrolled in the four computer literacy classes at the University of Texas. The instructional material on the human eye involved 30 program frames with three…

Peer reviewedSturges, Persis T. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Undergraduate students took a multiple choice, computer assisted test and received feedback (items with the correct answers identified) either: (1) immediately, item-by-item; (2) following the entire test; (3) 24 hours later; or (4) no feedback. Retention one to three weeks later was significantly better for delayed feedback, and confidence…

Sturges, Persis T. – 1978
This experiment was designed to test the effect of immediate and delayed feedback on retention of learning in an educational situation. Four groups of college undergraduates took a multiple-choice computer-managed test. Three of these groups received informative feedback (the entire item with the correct answer identified) either: (1) immediately…
