Although feedback is a widely used intervention for improving performance, it is unclear what characteristics individuals prefer and what is necessary for it to be effective. The purpose of this study was to systematically extend Simonian and Brand (2022) by addressing the limitations of the study and adding a best-treatment phase. During an acquisition phase, participants received either positive, corrective, or no feedback upon task completion. Nine of 10 participants mastered the task that was associated with corrective feedback, and one participant mastered the task with no feedback. Eight participants completed a preference phase in which they were provided a choice of either positive or corrective feedback when learning to play a novel game. Half of the eight participants showed a preference for corrective feedback, and the remaining participants had mixed preferences. Overall, corrective feedback was more efficacious and more preferred than positive feedback.
尽管反馈是一种广泛应用于提高绩效的干预措施，但人们并不清楚个体更喜欢哪些特征，以及什么样的反馈才是有效的。本研究的目的是通过解决研究的局限性并增加最佳治疗阶段，对西蒙尼安和布兰德（2022 年）的研究进行系统扩展。在获取阶段，参与者在完成任务后会收到正面、纠正或无反馈。在与纠正反馈相关的任务中，有 9 名参与者中的 10 名掌握了任务，而有 1 名参与者在没有反馈的情况下掌握了任务。8 名参与者完成了一个偏好阶段，在学习玩一个新游戏时，他们可以选择接受正面或纠正反馈。这 8 名参与者中的一半表现出对纠正反馈的偏好，其余参与者则有混合偏好。总的来说，纠正反馈比正面反馈更有效、更受青睐。
