Knowledge of Results (Psychology)
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Knowledge of Results (Psychology)'A principle that learning is facilitated when the learner receives immediate evaluation of learning performance. The concept also hypothesizes that learning is facilitated when the learner is promptly informed whether a response is correct, and, if incorrect, of the direction of error. Common names: Knowledge of Results (Psychology); Results Knowledge (Psychology); Results Knowledges (Psychology); Knowledge of Results |

Disambiguating the "guilty look": salient prompts to a familiar dog behaviour.
29 Jun 2009 
Anthropomorphisms are regularly used by owners in describing their dogs. Of interest is whether attributions of understanding and emotions to dogs are sound, or are unwarranted applications of human psychological terms to non-humans. One attribution ... Read more...
Nuclei accumbens phase synchrony predicts decision-making reversals following negative feedback.
8 Jun 2009 The nucleus accumbens plays a key role in reinforcement-guided behaviors. Here, we report that electrophysiological oscillatory phase synchrony between the two nuclei accumbens may play a crucial role in using negative feedback to guide decision ... Read more...
Adaptive coding of action values in the human rostral cingulate zone.
8 Jun 2009 Correctly selecting appropriate actions in an uncertain environment requires gathering experience about the available actions by sampling them over several trials. Recent findings suggest that the human rostral cingulate zone (RCZ) is important for ... Read more...
