A review of data from the traditional learning paradigms shows that the assumption of equivalent associability is false: in classical conditioning, rats are prepared to associate tastes with illness even over very long delays of reinforcement, but are contraprepared to associated tastes with footshock.

During acquisition when KR was present and being manipulated, all groups showed improvements in performance across practice, while increased summary lengths generally depressed performance, but in a delayed no-KR retention test, there was an inverse relation between the summary length in acquisition and absolute constant error on the retention test.

Perceptual and Motor SkillsEffect of Bandwidth Knowledge of Results on Movement Consistency
147 Citations1988David E. Sherwood
Although the subjects in the BW10 group received knowledge of results fewer times during acquisition, they showed less within-subject variability chan the BW5 and KR groups on the transfer test which suggests that giving KR about a relatively large bandwidth enhances movement consistency.

65 Citations1978Linda Ho, John B. Shea
The effects of relative frequency of knowledge of results on the retention of a motor skill was studied and Schmidt's theory of recognition schema updates suggested that the recognition schema is updated only on trials on which the feedback stimuli associated with the criterion position are experienced in conjunction withknowledge of results.

Student pilots were trained on a range-estimation task, either by a trial-and-error method or by an errorless method, and under a combination of transfer and stress, there was no significant difference between the two groups.
