Abstract
40 college Ss learned a discrimination task under conditions of verbal and non-verbal feedback. Prior information on meaning of overt and covert feedback cues was given half of the Ss. Generally, Ss who had pre-experimental information on the nature of feedback were superior to those who did not receive prior information. However, college Ss do appear to make significantly better use of verbal than non-verbal feedback regardless of the instructional condition.Keywords
