We experimentally examine how identical feedback influences performance when it is either provided evenly distributed throughout a task, or distributed early at the beginning of the task, and whether the effect is moderated by the presence of a performance-contingent bonus. We predict and find that evenly distributed feedback produces higher performance when there is… Show more
