q2 i? In mathematics studies with children ages eight to 11, trial-by-trial immediate feedback was more helpful than delayed feedback, though few studies examined delayed timing. → Fyfe Emily R. 2023

q2 · i? · review · r3

Narrative synthesis of mathematics timing experiments (e.g., Brosvic et al., 2006; Dihoff et al., 2005; Fyfe & Rittle-Johnson, 2017) reporting "trial-by-trial immediate feedback was more helpful compared to delayed feedback for children ages eight to 11."

"several papers in the area of mathematics experimentally examined the timing of feedback and found that trial-by-trial immediate feedback was more helpful compared to delayed feedback for children ages eight to 11"

• Corrective feedback largely benefits children ages 3-11 relative to practice without feedback, with 93% of reviewed papers reporting at least one positive effect — related
• Corrective word-reading feedback effects depend on timing and reader skill: delayed feedback enhanced word-reading accuracy, and phonics feedback helped poor readers while better readers performed best with no feedback — related
• Corrective feedback on second-language errors has a significant effect on L2 development that is maintained on delayed tests — related
