repetition choice
Psychology
noun
The choice made by a participant in an experiment to repeat one of two given tasks.
- The experiment, usually carried out on children, consists of one task which the participant has been allowed to complete successfully, and another in which the participant has been interrupted before completion. The participant's choice of which task to repeat is then interpreted as evidence of a behavioural tendency towards either failure avoidance or task mastery..
