Effects of Conceptual System and Quality of Feedback on Voluntary Task Persistence
Wiederanders, Mark R.; Harvey, O. J.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 4, 442-51, Aug 77

The 80 subjects represented four different belief systems, according to Harvey's This I Believe Test. Mechanized teaching aids were not conducive to persistence for all types of students. (GDC)
