Lecture 11: Augmented Feedback

Question 1

What does Feedback mean?

Answer 1

1. A persons performance of a task

Question 2

What does augmented mean

Answer 2

1. Having been made in greater size or value

Question 3

What are the two types of Performance-Related Information (Feedback)

Answer 3

1. Task-intrinsic feedback
2. Augmented feedback

Question 4

Task-intrinsic feedback

Answer 4

1. Sensory information that is naturally available when performing a skill.

Question 5

Augmented Feedback

Answer 5

1. Describe information about a performance that supplements sensory feedback.
2. Performance related info that is added to task-intrinsic feedback
3. Typically comes form an external source.

Question 6

What are the two types of Augmented Feedback?

Answer 6

1. Knowledge of Results (KR)
2. Knowledge of Performance (KP)

Question 7

Knowledge of Results (KR)

Answer 7

1. Externally presented info about outcome of an attempt to perform a skill
2. Yes or no feedback

Question 8

Knowledge of Performance (KP)

Answer 8

Externally presented info about movement characteristics that led to the performance outcome.

Question 9

Example of KP and KR (Golf Instructor)

Answer 9

1. KR: Your shot went into the right rough
2. KP: You began to downswing before you finished your backswing.

Question 10

What are the two roles of Augmented Feedback in skill acquisition?

Answer 10

1. Provides info that facilitates achievement of the goal of the skill.
   - Success determines if skill is being done properly
   - Learner learns skill faster when there is no external feedback
2. Motivates the learner to continue striving toward a goal
   - Helps make decision to continue.
   - Motivation

Question 11

Five Issues Related to Augmented Feedback Content?

Answer 11

1. Information about errors vs. correct aspects of performance.
2. KR vs. KP
3. Qualitative vs. Quantitative Information
4. Augmented feedback based on error size
5. Erroneous augmented feedback

Question 12

Information about errors vs correct aspects of performance

Answer 12

1. Information on errors useful for learning.

Question 13

KR vs. KP

Answer 13

1. Both are effective, but KP better than KR based on the skill performed.

Question 14

Qualitative vs Quantitative info

Answer 14

1. Research suggests qualitative is preferred early, and quantitative is preferred later.

Question 15

Augmented feedback based on error size

Answer 15

1. Performance bandwidths

Question 16

Erroneous augmented feedback

Answer 16

1. Hinders learning; no feedback is better than wrong feedback

Question 17

Concurrent Augmented feedback

Answer 17

1. Augmented feedback provided while a person is performing a skill.

Question 18

What can concurrent augmented feedback do?

Answer 18

1. Have a negative effect on learning- improvement in practice but not during retention.
2. Enhance learning- When task intrinsic feedback is low.
   Note: Subtle variations in the way concurrent feedback is provided can influence whether learners become dependent on feedback.

Question 19

Bio-feedback

Answer 19

In addition to the task intrinsic feedback or when there is a deficiency in task intrinsic feedback
1. EMG systems
2. Heartbeat monitor
note: Helpful in rehab and sport performance and enhancement.
