Feature coding of the 60 unique feedback conditions identified feedback alerts provided before the child responded; they were "present in approximately half of all feedback conditions" and least frequent for ages 10 to 11.

"Feedback alerts were present in approximately half of all feedback conditions, and they were included in papers that spanned the full age range, but least frequently with the oldest group (ages 10 to 11)."
