Videotapes of children's behavior in a natural setting were used to train 24 Ss to use a coding system. Ss were randomly assigned to training under conditions of immediate feedback, delayed feedback, and no feedback. Analyses of Ss responses to a criterion videotape following training showed that feedback was superior to no feedback. The superiority of immediate feedback to delayed feedback was shown in evaluating performance during training but not in comparing criterion responses after training. These results were discussed and suggestions for methodology in future studies were offered
