Effects of practice conditions and supplemental training method on cognitive learning and interpersonal skill generalization

Article Abstract:

The effects of subjecting individuals to stressful practice conditions and supplemental training techniques to enhance both social skills and cognitive learning was examined to identify the means by which interpersonal skills diffuse to other tasks. Results revealed that individuals who underwent stressful salary arbitration practice conditions and mastery-oriented supplemental training exhibit more skill generalization to other tasks, such as contract negotiations. Interpersonal-skill transfer for trainees in stressful conditions is also underlined by superior cognitive learning.

Cognitive and strategic components of the explanation effect

Article Abstract:

The explanation effect, in which an event seems more possible after it is explained by a decision maker, is caused by both cognitive and strategic mechanisms. Individuals with high need for positive self-presentation undergo the explanation effect in public scenarios. Those with low need underwent explanation effects to the same extent in both private and public scenarios. This effect has been proven detrimental in decision-making scenarios such as in professional accounting settings. Thus, it is necessary to isolate causes for it in order to develop debiasing techniques.

Task information, cognitive information, or functional validity information: which components of cognitive feedback affect performance?

Article Abstract:

An individual's cognitive feedback (CF) processes are divided into three distinct parts namely, task information (TI), cognitive information (CI) and functional validity information (FVI). Studies have shown that the introduction of TI was the factor which greatly influenced improvements in an individual's ability to perform an assigned task. These findings would be of great help in future training methods using CF methods.
