The Comparative Effects of General and Specific Knowledge of Results in a Learning Situation Involving the Higher Mental Processes
Abstract
During the last ten years seven studies have been reported of the comparative effects of immediate and delayed knowledge of results in human learning. In the present study an investigation will be made of the comparative effects of general and specific knowledge of results in human learning. By specific knowledge of results is meant the announcement to a subject of the adequacy of his response to a learning situation, when this announcement follows each particular response. By general knowledge of results is meant the announcement to a subject that in a certain number of his responses in a preceding series he was correct, without any mention being made of which responses wore adequate and which were not, General knowledge of results is always delayed.
