1	Do Preferences of Performance Feedback Matter Perdeep Singh Sidhu, Samantha Kaur Sidhu 05 1900 (has links) Feedback is discussed in many disciplines. In behavior analysis, it has been discussed in terms of its functions, many coming to different conclusions. The present study evaluated whether therapists' preferred temporal and format of feedback shifted or changed during acquisition or maintenance of skills implementing a tact program using a token economy system after a brief exposure to all possible feedback combinations. Three participants completed a questionnaire before they were exposed to a feedback sampling phase and preferred feedback phase. Preferred way of recieving feedback was asked at the beginning of each session. Two out of three participants switched preferences after achieving mastery of task. Task mastery may make feedback delivered at the end of a session more desirable while task acquisition may make feedback delivered at the end of a trial more valuable. Limitations and future research were discussed. performance feedback feedback Discrete Trial Instruction DTI temporal placement vocal feedback written feedback clinical token economy function discriminative stimulus establishing operation motivating operation Psychology, Behavioral
