Individual Differences in Feedback Seeking: Counterintuitive Results Concerning Tolerance of Ambiguity

Task Condition and EFL Learners’ Individual Differences: The Mediation of Tolerance of Ambiguity and Self-efficacy

Drawing on Robinson’s cognition hypothesis, the study attempted to examine how task conditions influence EFL learners’ oral performance and whether learners’ individual differences in terms of tolerance of ambiguity and self-efficacy mediate the effects of such conditions. To this end, 62 Iranian intermediate EFL learners from private language institutes in Tehran performed four dyadic decision...

The effects of tolerance for ambiguity on feedback-seeking behaviour

Two Results Concerning Ambiguity in Shape From Shading

Two shape from shading problems are considered, one involving an image of a plane and the other an image of a hemisphere. The former is shown to be ambiguous because it can be generated by an infinite number of ruled surfaces. The latter, in contrast, is shown to have only the hemisphere and its reversal as solutions, although some subregions of the image are shown to be infinitely ambiguous.

Individual Differences in the Benefits of Feedback for Learning

OBJECTIVE Research on learning from feedback has produced ambiguous guidelines for feedback design--some have advocated minimal feedback, whereas others have recommended more extensive feedback that highly supported performance. The objective of the current study was to investigate how individual differences in cognitive resources may predict feedback requirements and resolve previous conflicte...

Individual differences in error tolerance in humans: Neurophysiological evidences.

When interacting in error-prone environments, humans display different tolerances to changing their decisions when faced with erroneous feedback information. Here, we investigated whether these individual differences in error tolerance (ET) were reflected in neurophysiological mechanisms indexing specific motivational states related to feedback monitoring. To explore differences in ET, we exami...
