Abstract
Information integration theory was applied in a study of long-term behavior in a goal-setting task. Goal-setting was conceptualized as a process of serial integration in which the goal on any one trial is a weighted average of previous successes and failures. Six subjects performed a computer controlled maze-running task, received score feedback, and predicted their score for the next trial. The data of all six subjects supported the serial integration model, but with individual differences in the number of proceding trials to which the subject attended. In addition, the data of two subjects suggested that they also attended to immediate rate of progress on the task.
