q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports Kitsantas et al.'s (2000) dart-throwing study comparing peer and expert models; the review attributes the observers' error-identification advantage to the typical errors and correction information peer models displayed.

"In a study about dart-throwing, Kitsantas et al. (2000) found that peer models made key errors but that they promptly corrected these errors. They also found that observers of peer models learned to identify and eliminate such errors, whereas observers of expert models missed the information of error correction."
