Abstract
"A modified Pressey-type punchboard was used to study the influence of positive and negative knowledge of results and the importance of punch feedback. The rate of multiple-choice learning of definitions of psychological terms was found to vary inversely with the number of available wrong answers when overt error responses (punches) were made, but not when wrong answers were merely read. No corresponding differential effect of punch feedback on correct answers was observed. Reading these was as effective in producing learning as reading and punching."
