Augmented Feedback

Question 1

TRUE or FALSE: Everyone has a finite capacity for processing verbal information.

Answer 1

TRUE, feedback and instruction should be limited.

Question 2

Why should feedback/instruction be limited?

Answer 2

To promote easier processing and translation into motor performance.

Question 3

How can you encourage implicit learning through feedback?

Answer 3

Using more efficient feedback (like analogies) and not overwhelming the performer with information.

Question 4

What is the ‘expert trap’?

Answer 4

Too much explicit feedback, provided by an ‘expert’, leading to reinvestment via hypothesis testing.

Question 5

Explain the ‘fading’ technique

Answer 5

Progressively reducing verbal feedback as the performer improves in their given skill.

Question 6

Explain the ‘threshold/bandwidth’ technique

Answer 6

Only providing feedback on errors that pass a predetermined level of negative performance.

Question 7

Explain the ‘self-selected’ technique

Answer 7

The performer stated when they want feedback and feedback is only provided when they ask.

Question 8

Explain the ‘removing second step’ technique

Answer 8

Identifying errors but letting the performer hypothesis test on their own.

Question 9

TRUE or FALSE: an over-reliance on feedback tends to lead to an increase in performance.

Answer 9

FALSE. Performance is often reduced, especially when feedback isn’t available.
