Does the optimal timing of feedback after an error change with retrieval success? In research conducted by our second-year Ph.D. student, Jexy An Nepangue, the answer was found to be yes. In her work which she presented earlier this year at the 2023 Western Psychological Association Conference, Nepangue showed that immediate feedback after errors was more beneficial than delayed feedback on follow up tests. For answers that were correct initially, though, delayed feedback was better for final test performance.
