In this brief instructional talk, the speaker cites research on dog training that shows the length of delay between a command and the reward directly affects how many repetitions are needed for the dog to learn the behavior. Immediate rewards after a correct response require far fewer repetitions than delayed rewards. The speaker extrapolates this finding to human learning contexts—employees, teammates, children—arguing that minimizing feedback delay accelerates learning and reduces the number of practice attempts needed.

Chapters

Researchers tried to train dogs faster, and what they found was the more delay they had in their feedback to the dog, the more times they had to try repeating the trick. So that means that if you say sit and the dog sits and you immediately give it the treat, you had to have fewer times to train the dog. Whereas if you said sit and then waited 30 seconds, you had to have a lot of times of doing that before the dog got it. When we try to learn or we're trying to teach somebody else, an employee, a teammate, a child, whatever, we want the Delay on the feedback to be as little as possible.
