Omission of feedback in single-cue probability learning

Abstract

Brehmer,B.,and Lindberg, L. Omission of feedback in single-cue probability learning. Umeå Psychological Reports, No. 46, 1971. - The effects of the omission of feedback in single-cue probability learning was studied as a function of the sign and magnitude of the correlation between cue and criterion variables, the magnitude of the slope relating the criterion values to the cue values, and the magnitude of the unaccounted for variance in the task in three experiments. Replicating earlier findings, the results of these experiments show that the omission of feedback results in an increase in the correlations between cues and judgments. This increase in correlations is due to an increase in the slopes of the regression lines relating the subjects' judgments to the cue values.digitalisering@um
