Impact of teacher feedback on social working memory and associations with students' fear of evaluation in adolescents.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSocial working memory (SWM) plays a vital role in cognitive processes and social interactions, and it develops rapidly during adolescence. The ability to learn from external feedback increases considerably during adolescence. Teacher feedback is one of the most important types of external feedback, however, its impact on the SWM, particularly in social emotional working memory, in adolescents and its relationship with fear of evaluation remains to be elucidated.
methodsTo address these questions, this study employed a classic facial-emotional 1-back task to examine emotional working memory and recruited 144 adolescents aged 13-15 years which were randomly assigned to three groups that received positive, negative, or no teacher feedback during the 1-back task. Students' fear of evaluation was assessed by the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale and the Fear of Positive Evaluation Scale respectively.
resultsThe results indicated that the accuracy of 1-back task was significantly increased in the negative teacher feedback group. Moreover, behavioral performance was positively correlated with the fear of negative evaluation scores in the group that received negative teacher feedback.
conclusionThe findings from this study suggest that negatively informative teacher feedback during an ongoing demanding emotional working memory task enhances behavioral performance, which could be attributed to the fact that the fear of negative evaluation augments motivation and attention engagement in the task.
