Feedback Complexity and Practice: Response Pattern Analysis in Retention and Transfer.

Phye, Gary D.; Bender, Timothy

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v14 n2 p97-110 Apr 1989

Feedback effectiveness and efficiency were studied using 120 college students practicing 40 difficult vocabulary items in 4 experiments. The significant impact of immediate feedback was seen in immediate and delayed posttests. Conditional probability of feedback as a corrective function is discussed via a limited model of general working memory. (SLD)
