Abstract
In a series of five experiments, exactingness, or the extent to which deviations from optimal decisions are punished, is studied within the context of learning a repetitive dec~on-making task together with the effects of incentives.Results include the findings that (a) performance is an inverted-U shaped function of exactingness, Co) performance is better under incentives when environments are lenient but not when they are exacting, (c) the interaction between exactingness and incentives does not obtain when an incentives function fails to discriminate sharply between good and bad performance, and (d) when the negative effects of exactingness on performance are eliminated, performance increases with exactingness.

It is shown that practice significantly improves ability to control semi-complex computer-implemented systems but has no effect on the ability to answer related questions, while verbal instruction significantly improves able to answer questions but hasNo effect on control performance.

Direct comparisons were made of expert highway engineers' use of analytical, quasirational, and intuitive cognition on three different tasks, each displayed in three different ways, showing that the location of the task on the task index induced the expert's cognition to be located at the corresponding region on the cognitive continuum index.

The experiments show that salience of the relationship between decision and action is a crucial factor in relation to both the distinction between implicit and explicit learning and the distinctionBetween implict and explicit knowledge.
