The purpose of this study was to examine how the group members perceive the probability of attaining the group goal and the level of group achievement by using feedforward and feedback information. The work of each member was to add one to four to the given random numbers and the total performance was regarded as a measure of group performance. Subjects were fifth grade boys. In one situation of the experiment, members were required set a group goal and afterwards were given information upon group performance, but in the other situation, they had to set a group goal but were not given information upon group performance. As the experimental tasks, a maximizing and an optimizing task were used. The weights of some operators in the block diagram of the system were estimated by input and output data. Results showed that feedforward and feedback information were utilized to perceive the probability of attaining the group goal and the level of group achievement.
