Guidance and Feedback Flashcards
SKILL ACQUISITION
what are the 4 types of guidance?
- verbal
- visual
- manual
- mechanical
advantages of verbal guidance
- can be used at all stages of learning
- can be used alongside other methods
- can be delivered to multiple people at a time
disadvantages of verbal guidance
- coach must have required skill to be taught correctly
- difficult for difficult skills
- learners can become bored
advantages of visual guidance
- can be used at all stages of learning
- mental image can be formed
- can be used alongside other methods
- can be delivered to multiple people at a time
disadvantages of visual guidance
- coach must have required skill to be taught correctly
- difficult for difficult skills
- learners can become bored
advantages of manual guidance
- can be used alongside other methods
- useful for beginners
- provides kinaesthetic understanding
- reduce risk of injury to novices
disadvantages of manual guidance
- difficult to deliver to multiple learners
advantages of mechanical guidance
- useful for beginners that require physical assistance
- provides kinaesthetic understanding
- reduce risk of injury to novices
disadvantages of mechanical guidance
- specialised equipment required
- can be expensive
what sources can an individual gain feedback from?
- positive feedback
- negative feedback
- intrinsic feedback
- extrinsic feedback
- knowledge of performance
- knowledge of results
what is intrinsic feedback?
received within the athlete based on kinaesthetic (ie how the movement feels)
advantages of intrinsic feedback
- improves feel of movement
- elite athletes can use without guidance from coach or external feedback
disadvantages of intrinsic feedback
- inexperienced athletes won’t know the correct feel for the movement
- performers may not know if they performed movement correctly
what is extrinsic feedback
feedback received from external factors
advantages of extrinsic feedback
- can be used during early stages of learning
- positive extrinsic feedback can improve motivation and focus
disadvantages of extrinsic feedback
- doesn’t help develop kinesthetics awareness of movement
- performer can become reliant
- negative extrinsic feedback can cause a loss of confidence
what is positive feedback?
letting the athlete know they performed well
advantages of positive feedback
- increases motivation @cognitive stage of learning
- increases confidence @cognitive stage of learning
- increases reinforcement in successful behaviour
disadvantages of positive feedback
- if used excessively performers may become over confident
what is negative feedback?
letting the athlete know they aren’t performing well
advantages of negative feedback?
- improve focus and motivation to complete athletes goals
- reinforce correct skill execution
disadvantages of negative feedback
- negative impact on motivation and confidence in early stages of learning
what is knowledge of performance feedback?
provides knowledge on how well a skill is being performed compared to optimal performance
advantages of knowledge of performance feedback
- provides additional insight to refine skills
- explains why performance is successful (useful for cognitive stage of learning)
disadvantages of knowledge of performance feedback
- overload of information on performer especially in early stages of learning
- can break up overall feel of movement
- success cannot be evaluated easily
what is knowledge of results feedback
lets athlete know hoe successful their performance was compared to other competitors or past games
advantages of knowledge of results feedback
- success can be evaluated easily
- early success can improve task persistence
disadvantages of knowledge of results feedback
- doesn’t provide an explanation on why performance was successful or not
- poor results can lead to lack of motivation
