Journal Article
Nash, R., Winstone, N., & Gregory, S. (2021). Selective memory searching does not explain the poor recall of future-oriented feedback. Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 10(3), 467-478. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jarmac.2021.01.003

Feedback is invaluable for learning, yet people frequently fail to remember their feedback. Recent studies have demonstrated that people are better at recalling evaluative, past-oriented feedback than directive, future-oriented feedback. This paper t...
