Abstract
Programmed instruction in sex knowledge was presented to 30 college students under varying conditions of informational feed-back delay. Immediate feedback following each response was compared with feedback following a 15-second delay for each response, and feedback following a completed series of trials. The material was presented via computer and the dependent variable was a 24-hour retention test. The delay conditions provided significantly more retention than the immediate conditions. Implications for computer-assisted instruction are discussed.Keywords
