The Effects of Goal Setting on the Manual Performance Rates of Moderately Retarded Adolescents.
Warner, Dennis A.; Mills, William Douglas
Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v15 n2 p143-47 Apr 1980
Investigated effects of goal setting on the performance of five moderately retarded adolescents on each of four relatively complex manual tasks. Concluded that feedback tends to increase performance rate over that obtained without feedback, and feedback plus goal setting tends to be superior to feedback alone in some tasks and superior to no feedback on all tasks studied.
