Praise For Ability Versus Praise For Effort During Continuous Failure, Scott Spaulding Jan 2001

Praise For Ability Versus Praise For Effort During Continuous Failure, Scott Spaulding

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Recent research suggests that praise for ability may be less effective than praise for effort in influencing performance and interest. C.M. Mueller and C.S.

Their work has shown that praise for effort increases persistence, performance, interest and other indicators over praise for ability after failure is introduced. This study of 32 fifth graders from a public elementary school further extends this research and examines the effects of praise for ability, praise for effort or no praise while experiencing multiple failures on a task.

Making Inferences Concerning Physiological Responses: A Reply To Rossiter, Silberstein, Harris, & Nield, Stephen Crites, Shelley Aikman Jan 2001

Making Inferences Concerning Physiological Responses: A Reply To Rossiter, Silberstein, Harris, & Nield, Stephen Crites, Shelley Aikman

Selected Works Temporary Series

Comments on the J. R. Rossiter et al (see record 2001-01255-001) study of brain electrical activity accompanying visual recognition of TV commercials in long-term memory. According to S. L. Crites and S. N. Aikman-Eckenrode, although it would be useful to be able to predict which scenes in a commercial would be best remembered by examining physiological responses to the initial presentation of a commercial, it is very premature to conclude that the study by Rossiter et al has found a means of doing so.
