Abstract. Most feedback we receive or give is correct (deterministic
feedback), though a small fraction can be wrong for various reasons. Children need to cope
with receiving some portion of wrong feedback (stochastic feedback). It is still unknown
if better social functioning and communication skills or outstanding intelligence (IQ) or
chronological age support children in the coping process. We tested a sample of
7-, 9-, and 11-year-old children (N = 60) who deduced a
sequence of four left and right button presses from a red and green stochastic feedback
signal that was wrong in 15 % of the trials. Children performed worse with
stochastic than with deterministic feedback but improved in the repeated trials,
especially after receiving positive feedback about whether true or false. Controlling for
IQ improved and confirmed these effects, while social and communicative competence
explained little or no variance.
