Feedback Flashcards
Positive feedback
Information following correct response
Advantages of positive feedback
Most effective for cognitive stage learners
Increases confidence
Strengthens stimulus response bonds
If specific tells performer what they have done correctly
Disadvantages of positive feedback
Overused- decreases motivation
If incorrect strengthens incorrect stimulus response bonds
Unspecific
Negative feedback
Information following an incorrect response
Advantages of negative feedback
Most effective for Autonomous stage learners
If specific tells performer what/how to improve
Can increase motivation
Disadvantages of negative feedback
Less effective for cognitive stage learners
Unspecific- doesn’t explain how to improve
Can decrease confidence and motivation when overused
Extrinsic feedback
Information form an external source such as a coach
Advantages of extrinsic feedback
Most effective for cognitive stage learners to improve skills
More objective (factual)
More accurate
Increases confidence and motivation
Disadvantages of extrinsic feedback
Performer can become over reliant- prevents development of kinesthesis
May not be accurate
This can decrease confidence and motivation
Intrinsic feedback
Information from an internal source such as kinesthesis
Advantages of intrinsic feedback
Most effective for autonomous stage learners who can use kinesthesis to
Self detect and correct errors- don’t rely on others
Instant/ quickest feedback
Disadvantages of intrinsic feedback
Less effective for cognitive stage learners- don’t know true kinesthesis feel of a skill
May not be accurate
If performer has low sensory effectiveness they won’t be able to gain as much intrinsic feedback
Knowledge of performance
Information about technique
Advantages of Knowledge of performance
Effective for cognitive performers- tells how to improve technique
Effective for autonomous performers to refine technique
Helpful when technique is good but outcome is bad
Can increase motivation/ confidence
Disadvantages of Knowledge of performance
If inaccurate
Doesn’t provide feedback on results/ outcome for autonomous stage
Too much KOP can lead to information overload for cognitive stage
Can decrease motivation
