Types of feedback

Which of the following best defines feedback in the context of learning a skill?

• The process of repeating a skill until it is mastered

• The information provided to the learner about the nature or result of their performance

• The demonstration of a skill by a coach

• The physical practice of a skill without any guidance

According to the material, what should feedback suggest if an action is highly unsuccessful?

• The learner should repeat the action

• The learner should modify the action

• The learner should substitute or replace the action

• The learner should ignore the feedback

Which of the following is an example of internal feedback?

• A coach telling you to change your grip

• Watching a video of your performance

• Feeling the movement of your body while performing a skill

• Receiving a score from a judge

Based on the diagram and text, what role do sense organs play in internal feedback?

• They provide external advice from a coach

• They receive cues and help interpret information about the movement

• They only process visual information

• They are not involved in feedback processes

A student is learning a new skill and receives feedback that their action was unsuccessful. According to the feedback process described, what is the most appropriate next step for the student?

• Substitute or replace the action entirely

• Modify the action based on the feedback

• Ignore the feedback and continue as before

• Repeat the action without any changes

Which of the following best describes external feedback in skill performance?

• Feedback that comes from within the body

• Feedback that is only given after a skill is performed

• Feedback derived from outside sources during performance of a skill

• Feedback that is always negative

What is the main difference between concurrent (continuous) feedback and delayed (terminal) feedback?

• Concurrent feedback is always negative, while delayed feedback is always positive.

• Concurrent feedback is given during the performance of a skill, while delayed feedback is given after the performance.

• Concurrent feedback is only used in team sports, while delayed feedback is used in individual sports.

A coach tells a swimmer to adjust the angle of their elbow during the pull phase of butterfly swimming. What type of feedback is this?

• Knowledge of results

• Knowledge of performance

• Delayed feedback

• Augmented feedback

Why is feedback considered essential for improving performance in skill learning?

• It always guarantees immediate success.

• It helps reinforce correct skill execution and allows for adjustment if necessary.

• It only provides information about the outcome, not the process.

• It is only useful if it is negative.

A basketball player waits to see if their shot goes in before receiving feedback. What type of feedback is this, and why is it important for learning?

• Delayed feedback; it allows the player to reflect on the outcome and adjust future attempts.

• Knowledge of performance; it provides information about the movement pattern.

• Augmented feedback; it is always given by a coach.
