Feedback

Question 1

What is augmented feedback?

Answer 1

AKA Extrinsic feedback.
Most effective if the learner has inaccurate internal reference for goal

Question 2

Augmented FB may be beneficial but not necessary for learning if …

Answer 2

• Optimization of performance is goal (speed of a tennis serve)
• Augmented FB complements or highlights intrinsic FB
• Augmented FB adds to intrinsic info of learner

Question 3

Can augmented feedback be detrimental?

Answer 3

Yes:

• Learner becomes dependent on augmented FB which is incorporated into motor plan
• Learner substitutes augmented FB for intrinsic FB that is difficult to interpret or is minimal
• Erroneous augmented FB is given

Question 4

True or false. In early stages of learning, more precise feedback may be better.

Answer 4

False. Less precise feedback may be better due to high attentional demands of this stage of learning

Question 5

What is the difference between DESCRIPTIVE KP feedback and PRESCRIPTIVE KP Feedback?

Answer 5

• Prescriptive KP describes error and how to corrected.
• Descriptive describes only the error, better for more skilled learners.

Question 6

This type of feedback may provide learner with enough time to process intrinsic FB:

Answer 6

KR delay interval feedback

Question 7

For complex tasks, SUMARY feedback is optimal when given after how many trials?

Answer 7

5

Question 8

For simple tasks, SUMARY feedback is optimal when given after how many trials?

Answer 8

15

Question 9

What type of augmented feedback is given only if performance is outside a predetermined range or limit?

Answer 9

Bandwidth FB -Less variation in performance during retention phase -Beneficial for movement consistency

Question 10

What type of feedback is provided only when subject asks for it?

Answer 10

Self-Controlled FB
