The Effects of Delay of Feedback on a Delayed Concept Formation Transfer Task.
Schroth, Marvin L.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v17 n1 p78-82 Jan 1992
Delay and completeness of verbal information feedback were investigated within a transfer of learning paradigm involving concept formation. An experiment with 192 undergraduates indicates that, although delay of feedback (up to 30 seconds) slows speed of learning on the initial task, it has positive effects on the transfer task. (SLD)
