Evidence and limits
Finding: Reusing verbal feedback from prior attempts improved performance on several tested decision, reasoning, and programming tasks.
Impact: Watch feedback-linked episodes. Strengthen the rule that self-reflection cannot independently verify a claim or widen authority.
Boundary: Benchmark feedback can be incomplete or wrong, and improvement does not establish durable correction. Next: when must feedback come from an independent test or human-owned source?
Flags: benchmark transfer; same-system reflection
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
