| Abstract: | Studies conducted in recent years have shown that outcome feedback in dynamic decision making tasks does not lead to improved performance. This has lead researchers to examine alternatives to outcome feedback for improving decision makers' performance in such tasks. This study examines the feasibility of improving performance in dynamic tasks by providing cognitive feedback or feedforward. The authors report a laboratory experiment in which subjects managed a set of simulated software development projects. Results indicate that subjects provided with cognitive feedback performed best, followed by those provided with feedforward. |
