First-Grade Boys' Responses to a New Task Following Non-Contingent Feedback.
Brown, Davina M.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n3 p413-20 Jun 1985
To determine whether the effects of noncontingent feedback were transferable, 64 first-grade boys first were given a two-choice discrimination task and then a different contingent task. Results suggested that, even when conditions change, experience with prior noncontingent feedback disrupts the ability to use contingent information. (Author/BE)
