Immediate feedback

Graesser documented some of the dialog moves that tutors generate to nurture the collaborative building of explanations. There is positive, neutral, and negative feedback, as illustrated below [1][2]

  • (1) Positive immediate feedback. ‘That’s right,’ ‘Yeah.’
  • (2) Neutral immediate feedback. ‘Okay,’ ‘Uh- huh.’
  • (3) Negative immediate feedback. ‘Not quite,’ ‘No.’

After this immediate feedback, the tutor normally issues a more substantive dialogue move such as pumping and prompting.

Example (1):

-Explainee: ['Music is not different from life.']
-Explainer: [No.] ---> Negative immediate feedback
-Explainee: ["You know, and I think that's probably", 'the greatest attraction to those of us who play music.']
-Explainer: [Yeah., 'Was there ever a point in your life', 'when you were younger where you felt like you had', 'consistently fell back into the same habits?'] ---> Positive immediate feedback
