Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 A main effect of feedback on final self-evaluation of performance (η² = .58) confirmed that both older and younger adults accepted the veracity of the feedback they were given. → Soederberg Miller 2010
Evidence¶

Soederberg Miller, L. M., & West, R. L. (2010). The Effects of Age, Control Beliefs, and Feedback on Self-Regulation of Reading and Problem Solving. Experimental Aging Research, 36(1), 40-63. https://doi.org/10.1080/03610730903418380
q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Age (young, old) × Feedback (high, low) ANOVA on final self-evaluation of performance relative to age group, serving as the manipulation check. The article reports "F(1,91) = 127.8, p < .001, η2 = .58", a large effect; a smaller main effect of age (F(1,91) = 5.8, p < .05, η2 = .06) showed older adults rated their performance lower than younger adults.
"We found a main effect of feedback, F(1,91) = 127.8, p < .001, η2 = .58, confirming that the High-PFB group rated their performance higher relative to their age peers than did those in the Low-PFB group."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- High-performance feedback increases self-efficacy more than low-performance feedback, with comparable effects across younger and older adults — related
- High-performance feedback increases performance expectations more than low-performance feedback, with additive effects of age and control beliefs — related
- Random assignment to feedback conditions produced groups comparable in cognitive ability and control beliefs within each age group — related
- Feedback effects on attention to conceptual integration are moderated by age and control beliefs: only older adults with high control beliefs allocate more attention after high-performance feedback — related
- Fake social-comparative feedback combined with fictional malleability information successfully induces large changes in self-efficacy beliefs — related
- Problem solving accuracy showed age-related declines but no significant main effect of feedback; a marginal Age × Feedback interaction reflected age differences only within the high-PFB group — related
- Learners rarely detect manipulation of offloaded information and may replace internal memory with altered external content — related
