Abstract Details

1972, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, Psychology.
The effects of training on the ability to learn probabilistic cue-criterion relationships as a function of differential feedback and previous training sessions were assessed. Naive female subjects were trained to use three uncorrelated cues in the same manner as a hypothetical subject (target), and received either outcome feedback (OC group ), outcome feedback and feedforward (FC group), or outcome feedback and lens model feedback (LMF group). Outcome feedback consisted of the target's actual judgment; feedforward consisted of statistical information about the target's use of the cues, and lens model feed­back permitted the subJect to compare the statistical properties of the target's use of the cues with her own use of the three cues. There were three questions of interest: 1) What are the effects of differential feedback? 2) Is lens model feedback used more effectively as a function of previous problems? 3) Do judges use outcome feedback more effectively after previous training with lens model feedback? A task was defined by the statistical characteristics relating each cue to the criterion (eight tasks were used); a problem specified the order of the tasks, and within each problem, there were two sessions: all judges received outcome feedback during Session 1, and differential feedback, depending on group, during Session 2. Performance was measured by ra, the correlation between the target's judgments and the subject's judgments; G, reflecting the extent to which the subject's use of the cues were proportional to the target's use of the cues, and Rs, measuring the consistency with which the subject used the cues. Performance increased from Session 1 to Session 2 for the LMF and FC groups, but did not change for the OC group. There was no systematic effect of problems on increased effectiveness of feedforward or lens model feedback. Judges in the LMF group used outcome feedback more effectively as a function of problems; the increases in ra were due to increases in Rs, and not G.
