Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The fellowship will investigate how engineers learn about their success in design tasks. It will determine the cues they process when receiving feedback, how they assemble these cues and make inferences from them, and the effects such inferences have on their behaviour. It will assess the rationality of these inferences, determining whether they are subject to the biases characteristically associated with people drawing conclusions from uncertain data. And it will test whether the feedback has the characteristics that, in experimental research, are associated with good diagnostic and motivational content. Thereafter the research will explore how feedback can be improved by helping overcome its limitation.
