| Abstract: | The authors hypothesize that in spite of specific, difficult goals enhance performance in many cases, this effect disappears or reverses for novel tasks that allow multiple alternative strategies. The result of repeated measure multivariate analyses of variance conducted on indexes of prediction accuracy and predictor weightings supported the hypothesis that specific, difficult goals increase an individual's strategy search activity and reduce prediction accuracy. |
