Are you looking for evidence to support your beliefs or are you looking for evidence to tell you what your beliefs should be? :-)
On the anecdata basis, results vary. For some people in some situations performance is improved by feedback, but not always and not for everyone. Two examples off the top of my head where feedback/criticism doesn't help: (1) if the person already reached the limits of his ability and/or motivation; (2) if criticism is used as a tool to wield power.
Thanks!
