DEF

[Feedback that] serves mainly to correct misunderstandings on the student's part... Feedback can range from a simple yes/no to the provision of substantial corrective information, which can itself take on the form of new instruction.

CONT

Feedback should be corrective. It should provide the student with information to improve future performance. Simply saying "incorrect" after a response is not corrective. A potential danger of corrective feedback is that it may increase student errors. Simple corrective feedback, such as "No, the correct answer is Abraham Lincoln," does not generally act as a reinforcer....

CONT

The "branching programs" ... offered corrective feedback as well as adapted their teaching to students' responses.
