Theory and Results on Feedback and Retention
Sassenrath, J. M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 67, 6, 894-9, Dec 75
Data were reanalyzed from previous studies to attain ratio scores between right/wrong answers on test one or test two. Feedback was either immediate or delayed between test one and test two. The interference-perseveration theory was found superior to the verbal rehearsal theory in explaining the delayed retention effect. (Author/BJG)
