Answer 15

• less fatigue
• decreased opps. for memory consolidation

  -involves short and frequent practice sessions with long rest between sessions.

Question 16

one pathway of augmented feedback is the sensory feedback provided by proprioreceptors

Question 17

task-intrinsic feedback does not occur while doing a skill.

Question 18

knowledge of performance would be most helpful for an expert performer compared to a beginner

Question 19

most knowledge of results feedback is concurrent.

Question 20

knowledge of performance is task-intrinsic feedback

Question 21

which of the following would help reduce frequency of feedback?

Answer 21

-giving a client feedback after a block of 15 trials compared to a block of 5 trials
-client self-selecting when he or she wants feedback
-professional providing feedback only when the amount of error in a client’s performance is greater than a pre-determined acceptable range of performance error.

Question 22

information about performing a skill that is added to sensory feedback and comes from a source external to the person performing the skill

Answer 22

augmented feedback

person-task-environment

Answer 24

motor learning triangle

Question 25

gives information about the outcome of performing a skill

Answer 25

knowledge of results

Question 26

gives information about the technique of doing a skill

Answer 26

knowledge of performance

Question 27

strength coach giving technique tips while a client does a squat (at the same time)

Answer 27

concurrent feedback

Question 28

providing information after a skill is performed

Answer 28

terminal feedback

Question 29

breaking a skill down to it's component parts and time periods

Answer 29

task analysis

Question 30

which of the following are true?

Answer 30

- evidence shows to 5 to 60 seconds is the best range of time for the the post-feedback delay interval - for the feedback delay interval, information processing in the brain is taking place. - error detection capabilities can be developed during the feedback delay interval - performers should be envouraged to self-evaluate their performance during the post-feedback delay interval. -the feedback provided right after the feedback delay interval is about an outcome of the performance

Question 31

for the studies shown in class, greater bandwidths, giving a summary feedback after 15 trials, and fading the frequency of feedback (eg. 50% of the time compared to 100%) all showed higher retention (less error).

Answer 31

true
