Some Effects of Limited Feedback on Performance and Problem-Solving Strategy in a Logo Microworld.

Cope, Peter; Simmons, Malcolm

Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n3 p368-79 Sep 1994

The effects of limiting the availability of immediate feedback while using LOGO were studied for 48 students aged 9 to 11 solving rotation problems. Limiting feedback reduced the incidence of trial and error strategies, and higher level problem solving strategies were apparently used to compensate for the restricted feedback access. (SLD)
