Some effects of limited feedback on performance and problem-solving strategy in a Logo microworld.
Peter Cope, Malcolm Simmons · Journal of Educational Psychology · 1994
The effect of limiting the availability of immediate feedback in a Logo microworld was examined by observing children solve problems involving the reproduction of given rotations without the information provided by a rotating turtle. It was found that limiting the feedback in this way reduced the incidence of trial-and-error problem-solving strategies. There was also evidence that higher level problem-solving strategies, which took into account a wider range of problem features, were used to compensate for the restricted access to immediate feedback
