The Effect of Process Feedback and Task Complexity on Personal Goals, Information Searching, and Performance Improvement.

This study concerned the joint effects of the richness of the feedback environment and task complexity on the development of goals, information search strategies, and performance improvement. A decision-making experiment found interactive effects of feedback and complexity on the number of personal goals, information search, and performance improvement. Further, goals and information search mediated the effect of feedback and complexity on performance over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
