The Effects of Goal Setting on the Manual Performance Rates of Moderately Retarded Adolescents

The Effects of Goal Setting on the Manual Performance Rates of Moderately Retarded Adolescents

Investigated effects of goal setting on the performance of five moderately retarded adolescents on each of four relatively complex manual tasks. Concluded that feedback tends to increase performance rate over that obtained without feedback, and feedback plus goal setting tends to be superior to feed...

Zusammenfassung:Investigated effects of goal setting on the performance of five moderately retarded adolescents on each of four relatively complex manual tasks. Concluded that feedback tends to increase performance rate over that obtained without feedback, and feedback plus goal setting tends to be superior to feedback alone in some tasks and superior to no feedback on all tasks studied.
