Informational Feedback

The idea
Informational feedback tells a student that a response is correct and why; for errors it gives the correct response or rule and has the learner try again.
In practice
"Right, both sides changed equally." "Not quite: add first, then try again."
Where people slip
Attention can reinforce errors: circling only correct letters reduced children's letter and digit reversals, and scolding is avoided.
