| Abstract: | This study was designed to build on the previous work of R. W. Kulhavy and associates by investigating additional influences on the relationship between feedback and response certitude during the learning process. The results of the study showed that in addition to response certitude and correctness (as predicted by Kulhavy & Stock, 1989), other factors, including the goal subjects were attempting to attain and their commitment to that goal, also influenced the frequency in which they requested feedback. In addition, requesting feedback as a strategy to learn the material and the subjects′ confidence in reaching their goal influenced performance on the test over the information in a learning task. |
