Q

knowledge of performance is task-intrinsic feedback

A
21
Q

which of the following would help reduce frequency of feedback?

A

-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.

22
Q

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

A

augmented feedback

23
Q

the sensory feedback that is naturally available while performing a skill

A

task-intrinsic feedback

24
Q

person-task-environment

A

motor learning triangle

25
Q

gives information about the outcome of performing a skill

A

knowledge of results

26
Q

gives information about the technique of doing a skill

A

knowledge of performance

27
Q

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

A

concurrent feedback

28
Q

providing information after a skill is performed

A

terminal feedback

29
Q

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

A

task analysis

30
Q

which of the following are true?

A
  • 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
31
Q

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).
