Study Notes

Types of Feedback

Sports-related feedback consists of two main types: Task-Intrinsic Feedback and Augmented Feedback.

Task-Intrinsic Feedback

Natural sensory feedback available during skill performance.
Includes various sensory modalities: auditory, visual, proprioceptive, and tactile.

Augmented Feedback

External information added to the sensory feedback, enhancing skill performance understanding.
Also known as extrinsic feedback.

Types of Augmented Feedback

Divided into two categories: Knowledge of Results (KR) and Knowledge of Performance (KP).

Knowledge of Results (KR)

Provides feedback on the outcome of a skill or the achievement of performance goals.
Examples include statements like “Your shot went into the rough” or “You walked 10 feet more today than yesterday.”

Knowledge of Performance (KP)

Offers insights into the movement characteristics that influenced the performance outcome.
Example: “You should bend your knees more as you walk.”

Quantitative Augmented Feedback

Incorporates numerical data related to performance characteristics.
Example: The speed of a pitched baseball.

Qualitative Augmented Feedback

Descriptive feedback indicating the quality of performance using terms such as "good" or "long."

Performance Bandwidth

Defines a range of acceptable performance error for providing augmented feedback.
Feedback is delivered only when errors fall outside this range.

Need for Augmented Feedback in Skill Learning

Vital for skill acquisition but not always essential.
Can enhance learning beyond intrinsic capabilities; however, it may also impede learning under certain circumstances.

Types of Knowledge of Performance (KP)

Verbal KP: Can be either descriptive or prescriptive.
Video replays of skill performances help visualize errors and corrections.
Movement kinematics provide data on performance dynamics.
Biofeedback offers physiological feedback related to performance.

Descriptive Knowledge of Performance (KP)

Focuses solely on errors made during performance without solutions.

Prescriptive Knowledge of Performance (KP)

Identifies errors and instructs on corrective measures.

Concurrent Augmented Feedback

Given during the execution of a skill, can positively or negatively impact skill acquisition.

Terminal Augmented Feedback

Delivered after completing a skill or movement, aiding overall performance evaluation.
