L17B: Feedback Guide Flashcards
What are the 2 ways to measure feedback frequency to
assess how often to give feedback?
- Absolute Frequency
- Total number of feedback presentations
- Relative Frequency
- % of trials in which FB given
Abs. 5
Relative: 20%
Example
Task: Using a joystick to track a repeating pattern
What is the Guidance Hypothesis?
Guidance hypothesis relates to a failure to properly process intrinsic feedback
Guidance Hypothesis: “Learner can become dependent on augmented feedback if it diverts attention away from discovering how to accomplish the task goal when augmented feedback no longer given.”
The No-KR retention test is critical for testing for dependency
When does Guidance FB occur?
(1) provided too frequently
(2) concurrent with performance
(3) provided too quickly after a practice attempt
What is Bandwidth feedback?
Bandwidth feedback (FB) is a useful method to reduce feedback. Only give FB when errors fall outside ‘band’
What 3-reasons explain why bandwidth feedback is more effective than feedback every trial?
- Good for motivation as the learner is “correct” more often (getting less error feedback)
- Good for stability. Not trying to correct/adjust on every trial.
*Correcting small errors from trial to trial can be harmful, especially as a novice you don’t have the motor proficiency to yet control those errors
- Good for preventing dependency.
Frequency of feedback decreased (faded schedule).

When is the best time to give FB?
What is the optimal Feedback delay interval?
What is the problem with FB given after
short intervals?
