Component 2 - feedback Flashcards
what is positive feedback ?
gives information about a successful outcome
reinforces skill learning
can be intrinsic or extrinsic
give an example of positive feedback ?
a rugby coach praises the correct tackling technique of a player
what is negative feedback ?
gives information about an unsuccessful outcome
can be intrinsic or extrinsic
what does negative feedback help to do ?
build more successful strategies
give an example of negative feedback ?
a basketball coach explains why the shooting technique of a player was incorrect
what is intrinsic feedback ?
- information about the kinaesthetic feel of the movement
- comes from within the performer
- comes from proprioceptors
what are proprioceptors ?
sensory receptors located in the tissues, they are capable of detecting motion and position of the body through a stimulus produced within the body
give an example of intrinsic feedback ?
a football player physically feeling that they volleyed the ball from the sweet spot of their foot
what is extrinsic feedback ?
- comes fro man external source to the performer (from environment)
- comes from sight or sound
give an example of extrinsic feedback ?
- basketball coach telling a performer that their shooting technique is excellent
- a basketball player seeing the ball go in the ring after their shot
what is knowledge of performance ?
- information about how well the skill was executed
- can be given as external feedback
- can be concurrent
what does concurrent mean ?
given during performance
give an example of knowledge of performance ?
a tennis coach explaining to a performer that their serving technique is correct
a tennis player telling themselves they need to toss the ball higher when serving
what is knowledge of results ?
- information about the outcome of the skill
- it is terminal
- it is external
what does terminal mean ?
at the end of performance
give an example of knowledge of results ?
a 100 m sprinter seeing that they ran 100m in 13 seconds
a netball player seeing that their pass successfully reached their teammate
what are advantages of positive feedback ?
- forms or strengthens correct s-r bond
- reinforces skill learning or indicates where the performer has done things correctly
- can significantly increase motivation
- effective for beginners
- builds confidence within the performer
give an example of where positive feedback is a good thing
a coach praises the volleyball player on a successful block which makes the performer grow in confidence and be more likely to try the block more often
what are disadvantages of positive feedback ?
- if underserved the performer may establish incorrect s-r bonds
- ineffective if unspecific
- if overused can lead to ignoring feedback or losing its positive effect becoming devalued
give an example of when positive feedback is not helpful ?
- a table tennis player hearing lots of positive comments from their coach may feel like its not valueable as it is too often
give advantages of negative feedback ?
motivates some performers
provides clear areas for the players to work on to improve/ tells performer what they are doing wrong
useful for autonomous players
helps to fine tune well learned skills
prevents drive reduction as it pushed performers to achieve the goal
give an example for when motivation is an advantage for negative feedback ?
a rugby player being told off for not trying hard enough to stop the other team from scoring a try may become more determined to work harder to stop the opposition
give an example as to when clear areas for the performer to work on is beneficial in negative feedback ?
a basketball coach criticising the wrist action when shooting gives the player a very specific focus to work on training
give disadvantages of negative feedback ?
- can be demotivating and cause the performer to give up
- can lower self confidence
- doesn’t tell a performer what they need to do, it could just tell them what they are doing wrong
- inappropraite for beginners
- if negative feedback unfounded pr inaccurate it can have detrimental impacts on performance
