task nature #3

The results from this study are fascinating.

Might the generalizability of the results be affected by the nature of the task? Many studies regarding feedback and performance have demonstrated task nature to be a moderator between feedback effects and task performance and motivation (Kim & Schuler 1979, Van Dijk & Kluger 2011), and in certain cases task complexity as well (Hattie & Timperley 2007 and others).

Thanks for the question and great references! You are absolutely right. This is a major limitation of our current work ...

A research program that systematically varies task type along with other contextual factors (e.g., team size, communication patterns, division of labor, leadership, etc.) would advance the basic science of collective intelligence while also addressing practical applications.. Although such a program would be logistically challenging, “virtual lab” experiments of the sort that we have described here, in combination with emerging “open science” practices such as pre-registration, data availability, open code, and “many-labs” style collaborations, offer a promising route forward... I will discuss this in more details during my talk!
