Title

Does Feedback Type Matter? Investigating The Effectiveness Of Feedback Content On Performance Outcomes

Abstract

Research suggests that feedback plays an important role in improving performance during skill and knowledge acquisition. However, little extant research has compared the relative effectiveness of different types of feedback. Ninety participants from a large southeastern university took part in an experiment in order to test the hypothesis that trainees who received process feedback would outperform those who received velocity feedback or no feedback. Results revealed an interaction between feedback condition and gender. Females performed better when provided with process feedback, while males did better when given velocity feedback. We conclude with implications and suggestions for future research in this area. Copyright 2010 by Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Inc. All rights reserved.
