Delay of Informative Feedback in Computer-Assisted Testing
Sturges, Persis T.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 3, 378-87, Jun 78
Undergraduate students took a multiple choice, computer assisted test and received feedback (items with the correct answers identified) either: (1) immediately, item-by-item; (2) following the entire test; (3) 24 hours later; or (4) no feedback. Retention one to three weeks later was significantly better for delayed feedback, and confidence ratings were highest in the 24-hour delay condition. (Author/JAC)
