Certitude and the Constrained Processing of Feedback.
Swindell, Linda K.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v17 n1 p30-37 Jan 1992
Predictions of a model of instructional feedback were tested as 117 undergraduates read a text, rated certitudes, and received feedback at varying speeds. Results support the hypothesized relationship between certitude and the probability of correctly answering posttest questions, but not between certitude and durability (maintaining a response over time).
