Types And Uses Of Feedback

Question 1

What is intrinsic feedback with an example?

Answer 1

Information from internal sources e.g kinaesthesia enables the pole vaulter to adjust during her performance

Question 2

What is extrinsic feedback with an example?

Answer 2

Information from outside sources e.g the coach tells the learner how to play a golf shot often after performance

Question 3

Who is intrinsic feedback good for?

Answer 3

Helps autonomous performers to correct movements. Even during sport due to kinaesthetic feedback

Question 4

Who is extrinsic feedback good for?

Answer 4

Used to support intrinsic feedback for cognitive and associative performers who have not developed the feel of the skill e.g coach giving feedback to novice golfer

Question 5

How is intrinsic feedback obtained?

Answer 5

Kinaesthetic feedback detected by proprioceptors (muscles, tendons, joints)

Question 6

How is extrinsic feedback detected?

Answer 6

Involves hearing and seeing via external people

Question 7

Advantages of intrinsic feedback?

Answer 7

The performer has time to think about or focus on peripheral stimuli. Helps fluency of skill. Allows the performer to have more attentional space (less to think about) -> readily available -> concurrent

Not reliant on others

Autonomous learners ->Self correction - kinaesthesia

Question 8

Advantages of extrinsic feedback?

Answer 8

Teaches the performer to know how to focus on/ use extrinsic feedback

Different interpretation

Good if there’s an experienced coach

Cognitive learners

Question 9

Disadvantages of intrinsic feedback?

Answer 9

Less effective at cognitive and associative stages -> lack of kinaesthesia

Long process to obtain may be incorrect also

Depends on schema

Question 10

Disadvantages of extrinsic feedback?

Answer 10

Can become too dependant

Harder concurrently

Does not provide kinaesthesia

Often team based rather than individualised

Question 11

What is positive feedback with an example?

Answer 11

It is given by the coach when the movement is correct e.g when controlling the ball in basketball

Question 12

What is negative feedback with an example?

Answer 12

Is given by the coach when the movement is incorrect or could be improved e.g when control of the ball is lost

Question 13

Can they both be intrinsic and extrinsic?

Answer 13

Yes

Question 14

Advantages of positive feedback?

Answer 14

Good at the cognitive and associative stage, indicates which part of the skill has been performed correctly

Improves confidence of performers e.g the teacher praising the correct passing technique in netball

Positive feedback strengthens S-R bond

Reinforces skill learning

Increases motivation

Question 15

Advantages of negative feedback?

Answer 15

Good at the autonomous stage

Can finely tune well learned skills

Motivates performer at the autonomous stage

Reduces the chances of bad habits forming e.g the teacher indicating that the technique of catching in softball is incorrect

Question 16

Disadvantages of positive feedback?

Answer 16

Less effective at the autonomous stage when mistakes need to be identified

Ineffective if unspecific can encourage bad skills as a result

May reinforce wrong S-R bonds

Loses impact if used too often

Question 17

Disadvantages of negative feedback?

Answer 17

Less effective at cognitive and associative stage

Can hinder learning if overused -> Can be demotivating at the cognitive and associative stages

Does not tell them what was done right
