Lifting the Curse of Knowing: How Feedback Improves Perspective-Taking
Research-assisted source review
- What it supports
- Both feedback forms improved immediate adjustment; narrative information removed the tested projection within the scenario, while transfer to later trials differed and accuracy feedback did not eliminate projection in the same way.
- Where it may not transfer
- Ambiguous sarcasm messages and a student language sample are narrow. Short-term task improvement and self-report do not show durable perspective skill in product teams or across cultures.
