Effects on performance of adding simple complementary auditory feedback to a visual-spatial task. |

|---|---|---|
The current study examined the effect of simple complementary auditory feedback (CAF) on performance and performance strategies in a puzzle completion task. Fifty-three undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of two training groups: a CAF group, which received simple auditory feedback during the task; and a Control group, which did not receive the auditory feedback. The difference between the higher and lower achievers (in terms of time needed to complete the puzzle) was larger in the CAF group compared to the Control group. As for performance strategies, participants in the CAF group engaged less in strategies which involved pre-planning (for example, separating out edge pieces) and focused more on trying to maximize short-term achievements (for example, through trial and error). The findings suggest that CAF which entails low-level feedback is not recommended for weaker performers, for whom it promotes less-effective strategies focused on short-term goals. |
