Variables in Human Consequation/Feedback.
Abstract
This report presents salient variables in consequation or feedback processes that affect human behavior. As comprehensive a compilation has not been hitherto attempted for these significant psychological processes. The variables in consequation/feedback itself are categorized with regard to extent and amount, comparison, type, source, and medium, as well as context. Other variables involve the actions that are consequated and the potentiators that make consequators effective, in each case listed according to the aspects that characterize them and their relationships with consequators; another category consists of the purposes and effects of consequated actions. The compilation draws variables from both cognitive research in information processing (knowledge of results, information feedback) and behavioral research in operant conditioning (positive and negative reinforcement and punishment).
