The Effects of Temporal Placement of Feedback on Performance With and Without Goals

Identifying the relation between feedback preferences and performance

“…Thus, many researchers have focused on evaluating the efficacy of different feedback timing options on performance. Some researchers have compared the relative effectiveness of feedback timing variations in isolation (e.g., continuous vs. intermittent feedback; Alavosius & Sulzer-Azaroff, 1990; presession vs. postsession feedback; Aljadeff-Abergel et al, 2017) or in combination with other interventions (e.g., behavioral skills training with immediate or postsession feedback; Barker et al, 2019; varying levels of accuracy with feedback delivered after one trial or 25 trials; Brand et al, 2020; presession vs. postsession feedback with or without goals; Wine et al, 2019) to teach socially relevant skills (e.g., teaching skills; Aljadeff-Abergel et al, 2017;interview skills;Barker et al, 2019). However, few researchers have completed feedback timing comparisons using a translational approach (e.g., frequent vs. infrequent feedback with specific or global feedback; Park et al, 2019).…”
