Constraints on the Calibration of Performance.
Schraw, Gregory; And Others
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v18 n4 p455-63 Oct 1993
Effects of experimenter-controlled incentives and feedback on the calibration of performance were examined for 85 undergraduates answering reading comprehension and mathematics multiple-choice questions. Results support the hypotheses that incentives affect the calibration of performance and that external incentives can enhance the degree to which learners monitor performance successfully. (SLD)
