Which group(s) performed the best?
 
  a. right-wrong feedback group and how-much feedback group both showed the same improvement because both are given rewards and punishments but the no feedback group did not improve
  b. all groups improved equally because all get equal amounts of practice
  c. the how-much feedback group performed best d. the no feedback group did the best because the students could learn on their own
