The purpose of the present study was to examine order effects of information diagnosticity on on-line judgment and memory- based judgment. In the pilot study, several pieces of diagnostic and non-diagnostic information about school work were found as the materials for the formal study. A 2 (type of judgment) × 2 (order of information) between-subjects factorial design was employed in the formal study. The result showed that, under the on-line judgment task, there were no order effects of information diagnosticity on subjects'' judgment. Specifically, subjects receiving diagnostic information first then non-diagnostic one tened to give more averaging responses than subjects receiving information diagnosticity in reversed order.
